Sts. Martha and Mary: Patrons of Sisters & Friends. 4 (H) X 2.5 (W) X .75 (D) Inches Item Type: Handmade. Ach Piece Comes Boxed and with a Card Stating the Following: Luke's Gospel (10:38-42) Shows the Sisters Martha and Mary As Having Distinctly Different Inclinations. In the Story, Jesus Comes Through Bethany, Enters the House Where the Sisters Live, and Begins to Talk. Mary Sits At Jesus' Feet and Listens to Him, While Martha Goes to Prepare Food and Is "Distracted with Much Serving." the Story Thus Shows the Sisters Responding to the Situation Very Differently. But Other Biblical Stories Depict the Sisters Acting in Consort. Thus It Would Seem That the Two Sisters/friends Do What Friends with Seemingly Differing Personalities Often Do: They, Yinning and Yanging, Ultimately Complement One Another, Forming a Unity From Diversity. In the Image, Martha, to the Left, Holds a Platter Upon Which Rests a Tiny Fish; to the Right Is Mary, Holding a Book Inscribed with the Greek Letters Alpha and Omega
