Mary of Magdala page 1 by ric gustafson
Seven year old Mary ran into her father's arms. " When are we going to Jerusalem?". She was excited. She had never been outside of Magdala.
" Tomorrow". Her mother Zebidah smiled. " We need to finish our final preparations".
She helped her mother put measuring grain into travel sacks.
" Father". Mary grinned. " How long will it take to get there?".
" Usually four days". Her father thought for a moment. " But going through Samaria, it will only take us three".
She enjoyed going with her mother to her father's fish business on the Sea of Galilee. The Sea was famous for it's Magdala fish. Her older brother Samuel helped his father with the business also.
That night, Mary went to sleep dreaming about the trip the next morning.
