honestly, i only pray to Jesus and God, maybe catholics church has been the pioneer for offering a prayer to Mama Mary. I also have not found anything about praying to Mama Mary in the bible also about the rosary and the repeating of prayers like Our father and Hail Mary. I am really sorry i have little knowledge about this, but im pretty sure we have to seek help to God and Jesus.

No, it certainly is not based in bible that ppl show worship mary. Yes you should respect her, coz shez the mother of christ, but respect should not turn into worship as god alone is the one who deserves praise and worship. wHEN PAUL healed several ppl in jerusalem, ppl knelt down and were about to worship them, but they said, no all glory be to god alone, we are just doing what he wants us to do, only god can save not us! so thats how humble and right they were.so thats the same that applies to all other humans.

Well I was once a catholic member, but I don't really believe people pray to Virgin Mary, people only honour her as the mother of Jesus Christ. We only pray to God and honour Mary. Have a nice day.

The Bible itself tells us who to pray to. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6 The Bible mentions nothing (it is vague, at best) about praying to Mary or any other saint. But it is crystal clear from the above passage that Jesus is our only intercessor.
