What do Protestants do to honor the memory of the Mother of Jesus, especially during Christmas time?
Not much, really, and that could well be a mistake that many Protestants don't take into account. However, the more recent song "Mary, Did You Know?" is a tender acknowledgement of her role in the birth of Christ. I also realize that many Catholics did not appreciate it.
Maybe this would be a good devotional, to think about and thank God for the path He decided upon to enter time and become one with His creation by becoming part of it. How intimate is His intimacy with the human race by His conception in the womb of a woman, who was not only His Holy of Holies, but also His dear Mother. How special she must be to Him.
In His conception we see how profoundly He keeps His promises - how truly He is the heir of David’s throne.
All of this, and more, was accomplished because the woman He chose to be the Christ bearer said Yes, I will cooperate with Your plan and Your grace.
We would do well also to contemplate the quiet obedience and faith of Joseph, who believed the angel’s message regarding this unprecedented conception and took Mary into his home.
