Mary of Magdala page 3 by ric gustafson
For the night, the caravan found a flat wide area around several wells. During the night, Mary woke up and felt something strange underneath her. She pulled out a little ivory statue. She woke up her father. " Father, look what I found".
" It is an idol". He frowned as he studied it. " Get rid of it".
The next morning, she snuck the little statue into her belt. She wanted to keep it.
That night, she was told Jerusalem was the next day.
Her brother Eli asked her. " Mary, what do you know about the Feast of Weeks?".
" It is one of the three big celebrations we have".
They all slept soundly that night.
By the late afternoon of the following day, they had reached a ridge overlooking the holy city.
Mary smiled. They had reached Jerusalem.
