Product Description
This is our beautiful Saint Martha of Bethany Plaque. Saint Martha is both the “distracted cook” and the “woman of faith.” She was the older sister of Mary (not Mary, the mother of Jesus) and the younger sister of Lazarus, whose resuscitation from the dead she witnessed firsthand. This bronze plaque is indeed a wonderful gift for a birthday, confirmation, first communion, or St. Martha’s feast day on July 29th.
A Bronze Wall Plaque in Three Sizes
Available in three sizes – small (p161k – 2.4 x 2 inches), medium (p52m – 4 x 3.25 inches) or large (p329g – 7.9 x 6.3 inches) – this plaque can be hung easily on the wall in your home or office. This solid bronze plaque was designed and forged in Germany by a bronze-smith of world renown. This is an especially appropriate gift for that special “Martha” in your life!
Saint Martha – Both Distracted Cook and Woman of Faith
Saint Martha was challenged by Jesus to “choose the better half” (that is, to attend to what was really important in life) when she complained about her sister Mary “slacking off” while she did ALL the cooking and dinner preparation (Luke 10:38-42). (Lucky for Jesus that she did not make him cook his own dinner!) But she also really stepped up and affirmed her belief that Jesus was the Christ, the Anointed One of God, the Messiah (John 11:17-27). Martha is then a model for us: an ordinary person immersed in the the everyday busyness of life who is nevertheless called to belief in the Jesus the Christ, the Resurrection and the Life.
Luke 10:38-42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
John 11:17-27
On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
