The Magnificat, or Mary's Canticle, is an extraordinary prayer of thanksgiving. It is also a prophecy which has come to pass. Because the Virgin Mary  has in fact been called "blessed" by all the tongues and all generations.

She has been loved, prayed to, celebrated, sung, honored by all the peoples and on all the continents, more than any other creature, because God chose her to give us His Son, Jesus, who is " the center of the cosmos and of history"  (Redemptor Hominis §1).

Yet there is no place, no means which  would allow everyone to fully realize the width, the depth and the beauty of the mystery of the Mother of God.

This project wishes to palliate this important need. The goal of this initiative is to create in Nazareth an International Marian Center which would propose for tourists, pilgrims, locals and visitors of the companion interactive Website, to discover the Virgin Mary through different historical, archeological, cultural, artistic and ecclesial approaches.

For the first time, all the differents Churches and many theologians, movements and sanctuaries are going to work together and show the unity of love for Mary, in the diversity of the Christian traditions.

Everything began in Nazareth and the city of the Annunciation belongs to all.

It is very important to be able to bring about this project of unity, hope and peace, starting from the very heart of Nazareth, right across the street from the Basilica of the Annunciation.
