- For general uses, see Incarnation
The belief in
Incarnation in traditional
Christianity is that the second person of the
Trinity, also known as
God the Son or the
Logos (Word), "
became flesh" by being conceived in the womb of
Mary, also known as the
Theotokos (Birth-giver to God) or "Mater Dei" (mother of God). The Incarnation belief, then, is the belief that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human.
