Ave Maria
Description
This program looks at one of the most celebrated women in the last 2,000 years. She is both a mother and a virgin; internationally famous, she is the center of pilgrimages, the most painted woman in history, and the focus of bitter debates in religious circles. Yet, the Virgin Mary is also a shadowy figure about whom we know almost nothing. This unique program explores the phenomenon of the Virgin Mary, her history, and the effect her influence has had on women and religious practices throughout the world.
