M’Baibulo mawu akuti “Mfumukazi Yakumwamba,” sanena za Mariya. Koma amanena za mulungu wamkazi yemwe Aisiraeli omwe anasiya kutumikira Yehova ankamulambira. (Yeremiya 44:15-19) N’kutheka kuti Mfumukazi Yakumwambayi inali mulungu wamkazi wa ku Babulo yemwe ankadziwika ndi dzina lakuti Ishitara kapena Asitaroti.

Maumboni akusonyeza kuti anthu anayamba kulambira Mariya cha m’ma 300.C.E. Pa nthawi imeneyo tchalitchi cha Katolika chinali chipembedzo chachikulu mu ulamuliro wa Aroma. Zimenezi zinachititsa kuti anthu ambiri achikunja ayambe kulowa Chikhristu. Tchalitchichi chinatengeranso chiphunzitso cha Utatu chomwe sichipezeka m’Baibulo.

Chiphunzitso cha Utatu chinachititsa anthu ambiri kuona kuti ngati Yesu ndi Mulungu, ndiye kuti Mariya ayeneranso kukhala amayi a Mulungu. Mu 431 C.E., akuluakulu a tchalitchi anachititsa msonkhano ku Efeso. Pamsonkhanowu analengeza kuti Mariya ndi “Mayi a Mulungu.” Pambuyo pa msonkhanowu anthu anayamba kupereka ulemu wapadera kwa Mariya. Ndiyeno anthu omwe poyamba anali achikunja atalowa tchalitchi cha Katolika, anayamba kugwiritsa ntchito zithunzi komanso mafano a Mariya Virigo. Zinthu zimenezi zinayamba kulowa m’malo mwa zithunzi komanso mafano a milungu monga Atemi (Aroma ankamutchula kuti Diana) ndi Isisi.

Pofika mu 432 C.E., Papa Sixtus III analamula kuti mumzinda wa Rome mumangidwe tchalitchi pofuna kupereka ulemu kwa “Mayi a Mulungu.” Tchalitchichi chinamangidwa pafupi ndi malo omwe poyamba panali kachisi wa Lucina yemwe anali mulungu wamkazi wa uchembere. Katswiri wina wolemba mabuku ananena kuti “tchalitchi cha Katolika ndi chimake cha matchalitchi omwe anatengera zikhulupiriro za anthu achikunja. Ndipo chitsanzo ndi nkhani yopereka ulemu kwa Mariya, pa nthawi imene Chikhristu chinangoyamba kumene ku Rome.”—Mary—The Complete Resource.
