Jesus' mother Mary, Mary of Cleophas, Mary Magdalene, Lazarus, in 36 A.D. escaped to Britain ?

Question

This was after Jesus's death. In 36 A.D. there was a massacre of the Roman legions & the expulsion of the Sanhedrin. Made possible by Mary's wealthy uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. After Jesus' death, do you believe His mother lived the rest of her life in England and died there? This isn't in the Bible, except maybe the m assacre in 31 A.D.

Its a shame some Christians are "closed minded." No where did I say the above question and its details was recorded in the Bible. Nor did I say I was adding to or taking from the Bible. If you don't like the question, pass it by and go on to the next question.

Answer 1

You're writing about the legend of Glastonbury, which suggests that the abbey in Glastonbury, England, may have been founded by Joseph of Arimathea and others, with whom he was traveling.

For the most part, this is legend, with little proof to authenticate it.

Here's some of the details, as I remember them.

WARNING: I am not suggesting that any or all of these things are true. Some may be, some may not.

Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy tin merchant, with fleets of ships that traveled all over the known world collecting raw materials and delivering finished product. He almost certainly would have had dealings in what would have been considered as England, at that time.

Joseph of Arimathea was the brother of the Blessed Virgin. This would have made him the uncle of Jesus.

This has also led people to speculate as to whether Jesus, as a boy, might have traveled with his uncle on a voyage or two. Again, there's not much evidence to support any of this.

If Joseph was really Jesus' uncle, this would explain why the crucified body of Jesus was released to him by the Romans. He was close kin.

According to legend, Mary Magdalene was the wife of Joseph of Arimathea. She would have accompanied him to England.

So much for Dan Brown and the DaVinci Code! Mary Magdalene being married to Joseph of Arimathea would certainly rule out any marriage to Jesus!

It is also possible that the woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus saved from stoning, was Mary Magdalene. The fact that her husband Joseph was often away on long sea voyages is suggested as a possible reason for her indiscretion.

The Blessed Virgin would not have been along on any voyage to England. It is widely known that the Blessed Virgin remained behind in the Holy Land, or spent some time in Ephesus, in the care of St. John. That's how Jesus wanted it to be. He made his wishes in this matter very clear, as he spoke from the cross.

According to the apostles, primarily St. John, the Blessed Virgin either died or fell asleep, we don't really know which. Her body was placed in a tomb, and several days later, could no longer be found there.

Catholics believe she was assumed body and soul, into heaven, to be with her son. Her empty tomb still exists in the Holy Land, today.

St. John writes of her heavenly destiny in the book of Revelation, the 11th and 12th chapters.

Of course, it was St. John who received the book of Revelation directly from Jesus. It would have been unlikely that St. John would have encountered the risen Christ without asking how their mother was doing. Such an inquiry would only be polite.

St. John, who was the last surviving apostle in the world, also shared with the early church, many of the intimate details of his life with Christ, and with Mary, the mother of Jesus.

The church has always treasured these things, many of which which do not appear in any scripture.

Answer 2

1: Jesus's mother Mary was not related to Joseph of Arimathea.

2: She was with disciple John after the crucifixion, because John took care of her after Christ's death.

3: There is nothing mentioned more about Mary other than that she was with the disciples in the Upper Room at the time of Pentecost, when the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit. None of the other bible figures are even mentioned after the crucifixion. I think you need to talk to a pastor or you need to get a hold of a bible and really read it before making any assumptions like that.

Answer 3

The legend connecting Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury dates back to the ninth century.

There was extensive mission work by various people throughout The Roman Empire, and beyond its boundaries. However, none of the Early Church Fathers ever mention Joseph as being assigned to, or even going to Britain. [There are several lists of who went where, and when.]

The standard legend is that Mary Magdalene went to the South of France. This legend originated during the eigth century. The varient that sends her to Glastonbury emerged, at the earlist, during the thirteenth century, and probably much later than that.

As far as Mary, mother of Jesus, Mary of Cleophas, and Lazarus going to Glastonbury, those are embelishments of the ninth century legend about Joseph of Arimthea.

Answer 4

Mary the mum of Jesus replaced into no longer a similar individual as Mary Magdalene. The DaVinci Code is fictional. there isn't any certainty in it. the author of the e book states that it somewhat is fiction. Mary Magdalene replaced right into a girl from whom Jesus solid out seven demons (Luke 8:2). The call Magdalene probable shows that she got here from Magdala, a city on the southwest coast of the sea of Galilee. After Jesus solid seven demons from her, she became considered one of His followers. Mary Magdalene has been linked with the "female interior the city who replaced right into a sinner" (Luke 7:37) who washed Jesus' ft, yet there isn't any scriptural foundation for this. the city of Magdala did have a attractiveness for prostitution. this education, coupled with the indisputable fact that Luke first mentions Mary Magdalene on the instant following his account of the sinful female (Luke 7:36-50), has led some to equate the two women human beings. John 11:2, in spite of the indisputable fact that, identifies the ladies human beings in Luke 7:36-50 as Mary of Bethany, no longer Mary Magdalene.
