Mar Jacob Manathodath Bishop of Palghat Diocese The book provides everything about Mary -- from the Bible, from the teachings of the Church, from the teachings of the fathers of the church, etc. So more than a text for the preparation of a quiz, it is a book to teach about Mary the Mother of God...
