Already a goddess, its hardly surprising that outbreaks of Marian miracles were endemic throughout the Middle Ages (and continue in our own time!) Less than God himself but considerably more than human, blessed as a female with infinite ‘humility’, she was seen as an intercessory to whom mere mortals could appeal on ‘lesser’ matters.
Palibhasa isa nang diosa, hindi nakapagtataka na ang pagputok ng kung ano-anong pagmimilagro ni Maria ay naging epidemya noong Gitnang Panahon (at nagpapatuloy hanggang na panahon natin). Mababa-baba lang mismo sa Dios ngunit kinikilalang mas matayog kaysa tao, puspos ng ‘kababaang-loob’ bilang isang babae, kinikilala siya bilang tagapamagitang malalapitan ng mga mortal para sa mga bagay na magagaan.
