During the Middle Ages, there was a significant cult of the Virgin Mary, as she was seen as more approachable and human-like than Jesus. This was partly due to the development of the doctrine of the "intercessory role" of Mary, which suggested that she could intercede on behalf of believers and help them gain salvation. This led to numerous devotions and practices focused on Mary, including the Rosary, the Hail Mary prayer, and the cult of the "Black Madonna." While other figures, such as Jesse and Elizabeth, had their own cults and devotions, they were not as widespread or influential as the cult of the Virgin Mary.
