Summary/Abstract: The theology of the Holy Apostolic Fathers regarding the person and role of the Virgin Mary was simple, direct, concise, based “on the confession of several truths: the Savior Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Virgin is truly the mother of Christ, she is Prepurified, being chosen and protected by the power of God”. The mystery of the incarnation of God the Word is a convergence and connection (syndrome kai synapheia) between God and the whole creation, which is the ultimate good and the final cause of what is, the role of the Virgin being that of Mediator, bringing the truth about human nature.
