the holy bible supports the veneration of mary with one chapter.   kv_n2v4e luke 1:27-28 > to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was joseph, of the house of david; and the virgin's name was mary. and the angel being come in, said unto her: hail, full of grace, the lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. luke 1:41-43 > and it came to pass, that when elizabeth heard the salutation of mary, the infant leaped in her womb. and elizabeth was filled with the holy ghost: and she cried out with a loud voice, and said: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. and whence is this to me, that the mother of my lord should come to me? luke 1:45-48 > and mary said: my soul doth magnify the lord. and my spirit hath rejoiced in god my saviour. because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
