Virgin Mary
The Virgin Mary is a key figure in Christianity. As a devout Roman Catholic, Tolkien had a special devotion towards her, to the point of stating that all his "perception of beauty both in majesty and simplicity" was founded upon her. Her inspiration in Tolkien's work is reflected by poems, translations of prayers, and character development.
Appearances in Tolkien's work
- Prayers in Quenya
- — Aia María
- — Ortírielyanna
- — Litany of Loreto
- Mother! O Lady Throned beyond the Stars (poem)
- Galadriel (originally modeled after Mary, a connection that Tolkien acknowledged but would later veer from)
