At age four, Mary, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, made her first
journey. Mary traveled with her family to Jerusalem for her
Presentation to the Temple. Some of the other journeys taken during
her lifetime included trips to Jutta, Bethlehem, Matarea, and
Heliopolis, as well as many other trips to Jerusalem. When her son
Jesus began his public ministry, Mary moved from Nazareth to
Capharnaum. With her friends, the Holy Women, she followed Jesus as
he traveled around Galilee and throughout the Holy Land.
Ultimately, Mary followed Jesus to the foot of the cross. To
protect Mary from the persecutions that followed the death and
Resurrection of her son, St. John the Evangelist took Mary with him
to Ephesus, Turkey to live. Mary journeyed to Jerusalem and back to
Ephesus before ending her earthly life in Ephesus. The Journeys of
Mary is the story of Mary's life and the life, Passion, and death
of her son. In Part II of the trilogy, Mary arrives in Ephesus and
establishes her home there. With the help of St. John and Mary
Magdalene who comes to visit, Mary creates a "Way of the Cross" as
a reminder of the suffering her son endured. As she walks the path,
Mary recalls the capture, trials, and judgment of Jesus, as well as
the details of his Crucifixion. Other events that occur as part of
her life in Ephesus trigger memories of her earlier life in
Nazareth and Capharnaum. The Journeys of Mary is the story of both
the interior journey Mary takes as the mother of Jesus and the
exterior journeys she takes as she lives out her life fulfilling
the will of God.
