Virgin Rosary
Did Virgin Mary bear a son or sun?Did Virgin Mary bear a son or sun? Over the years, controversy has raged concerning the biblical text of Isaiah 7:14 that, <a virgin shall conceive and bear a son.> This text is supposed to be the foretelling fulfilled in the virgin's birth of a son, known as Jesus Christ. Every English speaking person is intimate with the two words---son and sun. Spelling wise the two are not the same; the significances are also not the same; but when it comes to pronunciation, they deceptively sound the same! The 20th century chamber's English dictionary gives the word "sonne" as an old spelling for both sun and son! Let us thoroughly examine a few other examples accumulated from dictionaries regarding sun and son. Son sun Old English Sonne,sone,sunu Old English sonne
German sohn German sonne
Danish son Dutch son
What do these examples disclose regarding the possible confusedness amongst son and sun? I trace the source of the words –son and sun- to an Indian word "sona" which is specified as "gold". (See the word "soneri-chambers English dictionary). Alchemists associate the metal gold with the sun; and gold as a color goes with the sun. Ancient writers had their own style of writing. They were fond of using cryptic language to hide the truth; to mystify their readers. They dabbled in punning. What is punning or what is a pun? The dictionaries say: <A joke that uses a word or words with more than one meaning> <A jest consisting in the use of a word that has more than one sense or is without apparent effort confusable in sound with another.> The second definition is almost related to the point I want to make; that there is the possibleness of confusedness amidst son and sun with regards to what the Virgin Mary bore. This confusedness could be the basis of all Christological argues in regards to the person of Christ. I refer the reader to a standard English hymn sung at Christmas time < Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid. Star of the east the horizon adorning, guide where our infant redeemer is laid.> (hymn no 122 Methodist hymn book) Read this hymn carefully. How does "sons" tally with "star of the east"? The word "son" when analyzed from respective roots does not inevitably mean "a male child". It likewise means a descendant; an offspring, male or female; a branch of the family (comp. Christ, son of David). From King James Version of the bible Galatians 4:4, the writer says < the son is made of woman.> if a fabric is made of cotton the fabric and cotton are one and the same, isn't it? Who is the "royal son" in Psalm 72? And who is the Royal bride in Psalm 45:7-10? The Virgin Mary belonged to the DAVIDIC STOCK. She was a descendant of the Royal house of David(Hos 5:1/2:18-20) the Latin word for branch-"ramus" shares the same root with the name Mary (mar/ram) she was the "son", the descendant that came into the world already filled with the spirit, the sun, intangible, invisible. In ancient mysticism, the sun stood for God; the light, the King, the Lion. The "son" the represented the queen, the bride, the womb, the moon, the mother. (See Encyclopedia of the Living Faiths edited by R.C.Zaehner page 29) The son and the sun, the male and the female, the father and the mother in union constitute the two distinct elements of the Godhead; hence the word"tha" "theos", "deus" from numerous languages meaning the twin-god--- the father-mother God. In the Masters of Wisdom, pg 31, J.G.Bennett says, < if the sun is the father of life then the world is surely it is mother (comp Gen 9:13; Isaiah 49:8). Note this one too: in the book, In search of magic and witchcraft, author Alan Landsburg says < mother gives birth to the sun, Lord of life that returns in spring and the child of promise is the light giving sun born by the mother goddess, Queen of the moon>(pages 74-75) In the bible, Gen 18:10-14, an angel declared to Sarah wife of Abraham, that she will bear a "son" in spring. The sun comes in spring and gives life to all dormant vegetation. Sarah would surely give birth to the sun and not a son! In the litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary (pg 253-254; Divine Mysteries of the Holy Rosary) the virgin is addressed as the Morning star. The morning star also called phosphors (light bearer) can not be used to the Virgin Mary if she just bore a son! Who is speaking in Revelation 22:16, < I am the bright morning star> it is Christ speaking through the Virgin Mary. In Divine Mysteries, Christ says < he uses the voice of the virgin to speak (pg28) There is an enigmatic passage in the bible: (New world Translation of the Holy Scripture edition 1968) look for edition 1968 and make an analyzation of the book of Isaiah, chapter 60. It says, < arise, O woman, shed forth light, for your light has come. And upon you the very glory of Jehovah has shown forth……. Who is this woman? The Virgin Mary is more than we take her to be. The personality of Godhead, the 2nd person of Godhead is made up of two energies- matter and Spirit It is a Holy union or matrimony amidst heaven (God) and world (Woman) (Gen 9:12-17) demonstrating the male and female principles within God. If he is the Father, she is likewise a Mother! The virgin carried the spirit, the invisible Father God! The mother is the Visible ONE.

What does my Rosary mean? my dad gave me my my grandmas old Virgin Mary rosary. And I don't know much in regards to being Catholic so I was marveling what it meant. Around Mary it says... "O Mary Conceived Without Sin Pray For Us Who Have Recourse To Thee" the necklace means a lot to me and i'd be grateful for it even more if i understood it is meaning Thanks =] The Rosary is not a necklace, altho a good deal of Catholics do wear it as one. It is in truth a set of prayer beads, where each bead represents one (or two, sometimes) prayers. As you recite the 65 prayers, you move your fingers from bead to bead to aid you keep your place. The Holy Rosary is a prayer of devotion to God through devotion to Mary. While reciting the prayers, Catholics meditate on the Mysteries of Faith. The Immaculate Conception is one of these Mysteries. Here's an article that talks more regarding what the Rosary means and how to recite it. http://www.ehow.com/how_4891085_pray-catholic-rosary.html |
