subject: Who Was The Girl That Washed Jesus Feet? [print this page] Was it Mary of Magdela, or was it someone else? Is it someone that time has forgotten, and who remains unnamed in the Bible? In my time travel odyssey I explore this question with some zeal. Who is the mysterious figure seen in many church paintings leading a donkey with Mary and child, with Joseph walking beside Mary? Is it an angel, or is this sweet girl the half sister of Jesus, the daughter of Josephs first marriage? How could a common girl from Magdela afford a jar of funeral oil worth $10,000 by todays standards? These questions and many others are answered in my book The Story of Josephine, the second book in a series of four. Yes it is a fictional book, but it asks a serious question. Who was the mysterious girl that came into Joseph of Arimetheas house and washed Jesus feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair? Who was she?
My heroines story starts out in Rio De Janeiro. What kind of story is this you might ask? Is it a Bible story, or is it a story about two Goddesses who are trying to avoid entanglements with the devil? Its a little of both, but it is mostly a story about Josephine, the daughter of Joseph. Its a story full of mystery and romance. It confronts the idea of gay marriage, and it is a romance that lesbian women can be proud of.
So how can it be religious and deal with the idea of gay marriage at the same time? Jesus forgave harlots for their sins. Jesus message was a message of forgiveness. He forgave tax collectors, and he forgave Peter for his staunch opinions about those he should forgive. He even forgave those who cruelly beat him and who nailed him to the cross.
Often we forget this in a world where often we do so much blaming. His was a message of hope and forgiveness. This is the Jesus I show in the course of this story. Too often I have seen Christians not forgiving gays and lesbians for their life style, but I believe that Jesus would have had they lived back then. Josephines story is a story of love, a love that is true and deep. Her love is on par with Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Iseult. This is lesbian love on a whole new level, no this is love on a whole new level.
