Before Kathy was even order what had happened , Father Spiletto win over Robert to embrace a baby that , curiously enough , was born at the same clip as his now - deceased tyke , and whose mother had go during childbirth . Robert even asked if the shaver had no family left in Holy Order to exit no loose ends , and only then did he agree to take the nestling and not narrate Kathy what had happened .
The identity operator of Damien ’s mother is n’t revealed , and the grave accent Robert and Keith Jennings ( David Warner ) found had the name “ Maria Scianna ” , but this is understand to be a false name . Inside the tomb was the carcass of a Canis aureus , who has been established as being Damien ’s biologic mother ( somehow ) , butThe First Omenis at long last retconning thisby give Damien a human female parent .
7What Happened To Damien’s Biological Mother After His Birth?

WithThe First Omenintroducing a human mother to Damien , the prequel can answer the big mystery of what happened to her after Damien ’s death , as well as why a Canis aureus was buried in what was suppose to be her tomb .
6Who Provoked The Hospital’s Fire?
A fire took place shortly after Damien’s birth.
While Kathy recovered at the hospital stick to an incident in which Damien knocked her over a rail to the base below at their rest home , Robert and Jennings traveled to Rome to investigate Damien ’s birth . When they arrive at the hospital where Damien was bear , they watch that a blast destroy the infirmary five years earlier , not long after Robert adopted Damien . The fire destroyed all the infirmary ’s record , so there was no grounds of Damien ’s birth and the death of the Thorns ' tiddler . It ’s unknown who was creditworthy for the fire , but that ’s somethingThe First Omencan answer .
The Thorns were targeted for a reason.
Robert and Jennings ’ probe led them to discover a couple of shocking things from religious text that talked about the Antichrist . One , in special , claimed thatthe Antichrist would rise from the humans of politics , which made common sense pass on Robert ’s occupation as Ambassador . This enhance the question of whether the nuns and priests at the hospital where Damien was born had been keeping a penny-pinching heart on the Thorns , make out that Kathy was pregnant and that Robert worked in political relation , or if it was just a very convenient conjunction that the wife of an Ambassador gave parentage there at the same clock time as the Antichrist ’s arriver .
4Were The Nuns & Priests Secretly Satanists?
The nuns knew too much about Damien.
As cite above , Kathy gave birth at the same hospital where Damien was born , and it was run by nuns and priest . However , The Omendidn’t explain what type of spiritual hospital this was , and it ’s even more intriguing dedicate the shady poppycock that find there , such as the illegal adoption of Damien . It could be possible that the nuns and priests were secretly Satanists , hence why they targeted the Thorns and find a home for the Antichrist , who had to be raised by a human menage for him to rise as prophesied .
3Who Sent Mrs. Baylock To The Thorns’ House?
Mrs. Baylock was sent to protect Damien.
The secret result that ghost the spine until their death commence during Damien ’s 5th natal day party . Damien was very close to his nanny-goat , but when Kathy saw a photographer at the party taking pictures of Damien and his nanny together , he pack him from her . The nanny then make out across a Rottweiler that on the spur of the moment come out at the Thorns ’ home , and shortly after , the nanny hung herself from the ceiling of the house for everyone to see , but specially Damien , claiming it was “ all for him ” . Not long after , a newfangled nanny called Mrs. Baylock ( Billie Whitelaw ) get in at the Thorns ’ place unannounced , take to be from the same agency as the past she-goat , even though neither Robert nor Kathy had asked for a new nanny .
It ’s unknown who really sent Baylock to the Thorns ’ home to protect Damien , as it could have been the nun from the hospital , a diabolic group , or the agency she mentioned , though that would imply that the first nanny also experience who Damien really was .
2Why Was Damien’s Biological Mother Chosen To Birth The Antichrist?
Damien’s nature wasn’t a secret to the nuns & priests.
As mentioned above , The Omenreveals that Damien ’s biologic mother was a Canis aureus , butThe First Omenis retconning this through the inverted Immaculate Conception of a nun . The questions now are not just who this nun was ( perhaps the genuine Maria Scianna or someone else ) but why she was chosen to birth the Antichrist . This is relate to the question of what on the button the nun ’s religious association was and their veridical plan and motivation , andwhat eccentric of requirements a nun had to action to be impregnate by Satan and contribute his tyke into the humankind .
1Why Were Damien’s Powers Unleashed On His 5th Birthday?
Damien’s powers were dormant throughout most of his childhood.
A montage inThe Omenafter Damien ’s adoption and before his fifth natal day political party showed that he had a jolly normal childhood during his first five years . Damien ’s might and wickedness were unleashed when he turn over five , but why they wait until then to certify is a mystery story . Many viewers have even pointed out on social media and forums that it would have made more sense for Damien ’s king to be unleashed on his sixth natal day , given that he was born on July 6 at 6 am and had the “ 666 ” Gospel According to Mark on his head . The First Omen , then , can give a immediate account as to why the Antichrist ’s fifth natal day was so important .
