Where Was Mary ?

[modeller]

The two most revered persons in Chriistianity are Jesus and Mary, but in the bible Mary is barely, if ever, mentioned .

1. During Jesus's life . ?
2. '' trial . ?
3. '' Crucifixion ?
4. at the tomb ?
5. During the Resurrection ?
This last one being the most surprising of all . Of all people, Mary his mother surely would be the first one he want to give comfort to and he totally failed to do so at any time.

Assuming the story is true, Mary (and Joseph if he was still alive) would have been in danger of being arrested too, as were the disciples and would therefore have gone into hiding. Veiled women (angels) are mentioned as being at the tomb on easter morning. Its possible that this was Mary and her mother.

I think Mary was at the foot of the cross and Jesus asked John to look after her saying something like , "Son behold thy mother, woman behold thy son."

[elliemay1]

1. Mary was at the Wedding Feast of Cana and it was she who asked Jesus to change the water into wine.
She was also there with Joseph when Jesus got 'lost' in the Temple.

It was probably mary that baked all the loaves that Jesus claimed to have majicked into existence.

She was at the birth...........

Thought about it long and hard, Octavius. Yes, I think she was.

// I think Mary was at the foot of the cross and Jesus asked John to look after her saying something like , "Son behold thy mother, woman behold thy son." //

One of the most moving things I have ever read.

Yes I always thought that Mary was at the foot of the crucifix, in fact she is in the Station's of the Cross in ´St Saviours Chruch Eastbourne. I loved those when I was a kid

Veiled women (angels) mentioned at the tomb? No. The gospels differ insofar as the number of women (Jesus' followers) who went to the tomb, but they didn’t find other women there – they found men whose numbers also vary according to which gospel story you read. Mary the mother is Jesus features occasionally throughout the Gospels, but Joseph disappears early on.

The whole story of Easter is hogwash. If you compare the gospels, you’ll find enormous and irreconcilable discrepancies between them.

I read two witness statements to an incident, they were different, same incident different viewpoint.

[naomi24]

The discrepancies surrounding Easter amount to far more than a different viewpoint. They are impossible to reconcile.

[baza]

two different points of view which is why we will never agree on this subject.

ellemay1 // "Son behold thy mother, woman behold thy son." //
That only appears in John 19 ( which wasn't written by him anyway but was written and added to by the Johannine community later ) . All the other Gospels say the only women there , were at a distance and they didn't include Mary .

[netibiza]

Well of course you realise that in the olden days, Jewish women did not mix with the men and did not attend furnerals.

[elliemay1]

Naomi, which discrepancies are you referring to?

[modeller]

//She was at the birth.// And even then they didn't mention her by name.
