The contribution aims to investigate the role of Mary of Nazareth before and beyond her being, for Christians, the "Madonna". Many religious texts have been written about this person, both canonical and apocryphal, but her figure is more complex than one might think, and many of the characteristics with which she is commonly identified were conceived by men, to outline a specific type of feminine ideal. In recent years, however, we can witness a flip side of the coin: the figure of Mary of Nazareth is no longer (just) a devoted mother and wife, but a woman who lived in a time, who performed actions, who made choices, a human creature who experienced joys and fears. Although the sacralization and mythologization of her figure prevailed over time, it must be remembered that she was first and foremost a woman. In light of this, today, some fringes of contemporary feminism are opting for a different interpretation of Mary, a reading that can rethink her in a feminist key, precisely, and therefore reclaim her. It is on the same principle that scholar Mary Ann Beavis introduced the concept of Chistian Goddess Spirituality: many women of Christian background who today relate to the Goddess Spirituality have come to it through a reinterpretation of the figure of Mary on the model of the Mother Goddesses and the 'Divine Feminine'. The paper aims to explore these thematic, which bring to the center of the discourse the need to 'renegotiate' the sacred in contemporary society, according to a more inclusive and broad vision that looks to women no longer merely recipients of the religious word, but active subjects of a new spiritual narrative, capable of reinterpreting and reclaiming symbols, rituals, and doctrines in light of their own experience.
