mother of God

Queen of Heaven

Mother of God is a title for Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, used especially in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity.

The phrase also functions as an exclamation of shock or astonishment, similar to "oh my God" but stronger: Mother of God, what happened here?

The oath retains religious weight for some speakers while functioning as secular emphasis for others.
