Mary of Magdala page 9 by ric gustafson
When Mary turned thirteen, her body was changing into young womanhood. When she became fourteen, she learned the Shema in Hebrew and knew the Mishnah. One day while she was reading the Torah, one of her massive headaches occurred. Nathan and her mother had to hold her arms tightly
One day, my father gave me a hug. " My daughter, you will soon be a bride".
" That's good Father".
" I have arranged a marriage for you to Asa, the son of my cousin Abirim".
" How old is he Father?".
" He is ten years older than you".
As Mary's house prepared for Hanukkah, her violent headaches continued.
