Materský vzťah Márie voči kresťanom a Cirkvi počas stredoveku
Mary’s maternal relationship towards Christians and the Church in the Middle ages

Summary/Abstract: In 1964 Pope Paul VI solemnly proclaimed a new Marian title, Mother of the Church. This article follows the signs of a relationship coming from the title in the context of works from the Middle Ages. It defines Mary’s relationship towards all men, Christians and consequently also towards the Church. The Theological development of Mary’s maternal relationship towards all men during the Middle Ages was expressed in several ways. The outcome of them is the title Mother of the Church and we find it in works of doctrine and devotion. The second half of the Middle Ages brought new visions and new aspects about Mary that did not fully follow the concept of her as mother, but more of the images of a sorrowful mother and later as a queen.
