Mother of God
Mary's divine epithet
Mother of God is a title for Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, used especially in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity.
The phrase also serves as an exclamation of shock or astonishment: Mother of God, what happened here?
The oath draws force from invoking sacred figures, though speakers often use it without religious intent.
