In 431 A.D., the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus proclaimed Mary to be the Mother of God, officially establishing her position in the dogma of the Church. Her prominence grew dramatically in the years which followed, and by the 13th century, the cult of the Virgin had reached its height. This was the age of the building of the great cathedrals and many were the churches, great and small, which were dedicated to her. The adoration of the secular lady, or domna, of the troubadour tradition gradually became the worship of "Our Lady," Notre Dame, Madonna.
