Mary is referred to by the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodoxy and all 
Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church as Theotokos, a title recognized at the Third Ecumenical 
Council held at Ephesus in 431 to address the teachings of Nestorius. 
<P>
Theotokos and its Latin equivalents, "Deipara" and "Dei genetrix" literally means 
"Godbearer".
<P>
In the tradition of the Eastern Rites of the Christian Church, Mary is robed in red.
<P>
This handmade flat ball shaped ornament measures 2 7/8 inches across. Made of high quality porcelain in a classic holiday shape. Red ribbon included.
