Abstract: Christians believe God the Son is begotten of God the Father pre - eternally but is born "in time" of Holy Mary. Theotokos thus refers to the Incarnation, when the Second Person of the Holy Trinity took on human nature in addition to his pre-existing divine nature, this being made possible through the cooperation of Holy Virgin Mary. Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human, so His mother should be called and She is Theotokos. This Virgin Mother of God is called "Theotokos" [God-bearer] not only by the Ecumenical Synods, but countless God-bearing Fathers, who indeed anathematize those who refuse to attribute this title to her.
Keywords: Theotokos, God-bearer,
Title: The Modulation of the Term THEOTOKOS from the Fathers of 2nd Century to Cyril of Alexandria
