If she was so irrelevant, why do St. Matthew and St. Luke make such a big deal out of her?

“The Almighty has done great things for me.”

“All generations will call me blessed.”

Yeah. Real irrelevant.

And not one word about her after Pentecost. Matthew and Luke didn’t make a big deal about her. They simply related what happened surrounding the birth of Jesus. Jesus was the focus not Mary. She was so inconsequential that not one word was written about her after Pentecost.

Except for Catholics.

They'll call her all KINDS of things that are NOT biblical.

Matthew also made a BIG DEAL out of Rahab, the prostitute and David's Mother, wife of Uriah.
