From what that I heard or know about is that she was pure and sinless. She was also a virgin and Jesus mother. From the statue I noticed that she was white, which at that time meant purity. She was a small and petite lady. She had rosary beads and her hands were in a praying position, so she mush be very religious.
For a women in her time Mary was strong, she believed highly in God and wasn't afraid to show it. She was a promising women who gave pleasures to everyone she greeted. For example "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit". She is a servant of god. When living in the time that Mary lived in where women were looked down upon she was strong. And relied on God for her guidance. In my opinion I believe that the community would consider her a lier, and a sinner because she says she is a virgin but she is a pregnant. Also God chose her to be pregnant, knowone would believe that.
God chose a women like because she was worth of doing the job, she had not sinned was pure and was a virgin. When the Angel came down and said that she was the mother of Jesus, she said yes without any hesitation because obeying God was of great importance to her.
