I think Mary represents holiness and someone who is in a virgin state not just physically but spiritually. Like nothing can touch her and people should look up to her because of what she represents. The statue of Mary in the quad doesn't make her appear the same as she does in textbooks. The statue portrays her as a small woman who appears to be weak and not as strong spiritually as the books make her seem. She's looking down as if she's sad and doens't seem like the strong proud woman in books.
The passages described how Mary was in a lower poor class and when people found out she was pregnant before she had been married people thought of her even lower than that. They thought it was wrong of her to have sex before she had gotten married even though she tried to explain that it was God's child. People thought she was crazy when she gave them that explanation. An angel comes down to explain to Joseph and then that's when he agrees to marry her because she will birth the son of God.
I think God chose Mary to birth his son because He saw something in her that no one else saw. While everyone knew Mary was poor and didn't matter God saw that she was important enough to birth his son. only God could understand why Mary was chosen He felt she was worth picking and that she wouldn't disappoint.
