Redirected from Mary sister of Lazarus
It would appear from this act of Mary's, and from the circumstances that they possessed a family vault (11:38) and that a large number of Jews from Jerusalem came to condole with them on the death of Lazarus (11:19), that this family at Bethany belonged to the wealthier class of the people.
To Protestants, nothing is known of her apart from that. To Catholics, this Mary is also St. Mary Magdalene of whom both the Bible and legends apart from it tell more.
