According to the New Testament, Mary (Judeo-Aramaic ???? Maryam "Bitter"; Arabic ???? (Maryam); Septuagint Greek ?????µ,
Saint Joseph (cf. Matt 1:18-20, Luke 1:35). According to non- canonical
Mary's most common titles include The Blessed Virgin Mary or Our Lady (Notre Dame, Nuestra Senora, Madonna).
Mary is frequently referred to by the Orthodx Church and related traditions within the Catholic Church as Theotokos, a title recognized at the Third Ecumenical Council held at Ephesus, against the teachings of Nestorius, in 431. Theotokos is often translated into English as "Mother of God," or more literally as "Godbearer". The name was used theologically to emphasize that Mary's child, Jesus Christ, was in fact God (Denziger §111a). That Council clarified that the Church Fathers "did not hesitate to
speak of the holy Virgin as the Mother of God" (ibid.).
