Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary

Dear Anthony:

The devotion to the Saints, of which Mary is the first among the Saints, developed over time but has its roots in the First Century.

I think the best thing is to refer you to the Catholic Encyclopedia article that gives a history of Marian devotion...

Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
