Mary (Mair)
Mary, the mother of Jesus, has been widely venerated across the Christian world. Many churches in Wales have been dedicated to her and images of her are widespread, with or without the Christ-child and in biblical contexts. Many early Christian writings contain stories about Mary that are not found in the canonical biblical texts.
