Mary of Magdala page 4 by ric gustafson


That night, the caravan camped outside the city walls. The next day with her parents holding her hands, Mary walked past the towering Antonia Fortress. The Temple was guarded by a fortress of Roman soldiers. To Mary, the Temple was a huge wall of white marble. The family only entered the Court of the Gentiles.
The trip home to Mary seemed to go faster. On the way, Mary met a family from Nazareth. The father's name was Joseph. He was a carpenter and had a wife named Mary. They had three young sons. Their names were James, Jude and Joses.
Mary kept staring at the oldest. His name was Jesus. Mary spent the night with the family. She smiled at one point. Magdala fish was part of the meal that evening.
