The Feminine Principle as a Source of Christian Mariology

Fatima de Lira Uanday, Laura Gemma Flores Garcia

Abstract: This essay intends to contemplate in a long-term temporality how the figure of the Virgin Mary, within the Christian and Catholic worldview, sinks its roots in the phylogenetic system of humanity when, at the awakening of the human race, a interpretation of the cosmos attributing the forces of nature to two essential principles: the masculine and the feminine. After presenting a brief look at how these feminine forces were created, we address the issue of Mariology and Mary as a figure that sustains a Catholic world to this day.

Keywords: Mary, Mariology, Virgin
