So historically speaking, is the reason that Mary got elevated from just a hardly mentioned side character in the Bible to the most important figure in all of Catholicisim, even holier than Jesus, is that Latin America, unlike Europe, doesn't have any local saints of tradition like how Lombardy has Ambrose, Paris has Geneviève, Norway has Olav or Czechia has Václav, so they had to pick a universal one? Or is it that women who have kept their virginity past the age of 13 are so rare there that a woman who hasn't had sex is seen as the most virtuous person in the world?
