* ''Film/RosemarysBaby'''s entire plot has such blatant parallels to Holy Mary and Jesus. The central character of the story is a young housewife called Rosemary, she is beautiful, gentle, sweet, and all she wants in the world the most is to have three children with her husband. Unfortunately, things don't go well for her. Unbeknown to Rosemary, her own husband conspired with her secretly Satan-worshipping neighbors to have her impregnated by Satan himself in exchange for a thriving acting career. Rosemary is raped by Satan one night, which leads to a MysticalPregnancy, thinking the father is her husband. By the time Rosemary learns the truth, is too late for her to escape, and has no other choice but the accept that her own son is the Anti-Christ.

* The Fairy with the Turquoise Hair from ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' is depicted as a FriendToAllLivingThings forest dweller who saves Pinocchio from being hanged and from whom she becomes worshipped as a beloved sister and later mother figure that takes care of him after Geppetto is lost at sea, and her pale skin and long blue hair evoking of Mary's cloak makes her the story's Madonna Archetype. Creator/StevenSpielberg acknowledges this in a scene from ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence'' when David, who's searching for the Blue Fairy in order to BecomeARealBoy, stares at a statue of Mary lit in blue neon lights while visiting Rouge City, wondering if it's her.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Kanaya Maryam's last name is Maryam, the Aramaic (also Hebrew or Arabic) version of the name Mary. She is associated with the zodiac sign Virgo (the virgin). A mother grub (the species responsible for giving birth to new trolls) has given up its role as birth mother to become her lusus. When the start of the Sgrub session kills her lusus, Kanaya acquires the Matriorb, an artifact that can be used to hatch a new mother grub. This makes her responsible for saving the genetic future of trollkind.

** Kanaya's ancestor, the Dolorosa, is an even more straightforward example of the trope. She raised the abandoned [[MessianicArchetype Signless]] from a grub (unheard of for trolls, who are instead raised by lusii and not their own species) and protected him in secret like a mother as he preached his beliefs up until he was tortured and killed for them. Her name is another term for Mary, specifically her suffering self after Jesus's crucifixion.

* Oddly enough, invoked with Vala in ''Series/StargateSG1'' - oddly because before giving birth to a so-called messiah, Vala is a pirate and apparently ReallyGetsAround. In addition to the mystical, divine pregnancy, she also wears a long blue gown during pivotal scenes on the Ori ship. In retrospect, she did also display the only TeamMom traits in the series, often shown hugging her more-stoic teammates or visibly worrying about them (but also driving them crazy).
