ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mary, mother of Jesus

Mary was a very special lady because she was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus. Jesus is important to a lot of people because he taught them about how to be kind and love others. Mary was chosen because she was a good person who loved God a lot.

Mary was visited by an angel named Gabriel who told her that she was going to have a baby who would be the Son of God. This baby was Jesus!

Mary had Jesus in a stable because there was no room at the inn where people usually stayed. When Jesus was born, she wrapped him up in blankets and laid him in a manger.

As Jesus grew up, Mary was a very important person in his life. She taught him lots of things and helped him be the kind and loving person he was.

Mary is still remembered today because of her important role in Jesus’ life. People pray to her and ask for her help when they need it. She is a symbol of faith, hope, and love to many people.
