Mary set a fine example of faith, obedience, humility, and deep spirituality. She is among the faithful ones whom we do well to imitate. - HEBREWS 6:12.
Yet, despite her unique role as the mother of Jesus, the Bible does not teach that we should worship Mary or pray to her. Jesus did not single out his mother for special honor, nor did he tell his followers to do so. In fact, outside of the Gospel accounts and a single reference in the book of Acts, Mary is not mentioned in the remaining 22 books of the so-called Testament. - ACTS 1:14.
The Scriptures provide no evidence that Mary received any special attention-let alone veneration-by first-century Christians. Rather, the Bible teaches Christians to worship only God. - MATTHEW 4:10.
