The Latter Day Saint movement teaches that Mary was the mother of Jesus.
They also believe that the brothers of Jesus were her and Joseph's biological children.
[2] The Book of Mormon, part of the Latter Day Saint canon of scripture, refers to Mary by name in prophecies of her mission,[3] and describes her as "most beautiful and fair above all other virgins"[4] and as a "precious and chosen vessel.
"[5] In the first edition of the Book of Mormon (1830), Mary was referred to as "the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh,"[6] a reading that was changed by Joseph Smith to "the mother of the Son of God" in subsequent editions (1837–).
[7][8] Latter Day Saints also believe that God the Father is the literal father of Jesus Christ,[9] although how Jesus's conception was accomplished has not been authoritatively established.
