Mary and Martha Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mary and Martha Society
A Mary and Martha Society is a volunteer group associated with various Christian churches, each group being independent of the others. Even when the group appears in a hierarchical organization, for example the Roman Catholic Church, the group is only serving that particular church, not with the larger organization. It is known under different names such as the Society of Mary and Martha, The Daughters (and Sons) of Mary and Martha, Saints Martha and Mary Altar Society, MOMS, and marthas (sic). ==Biblical references== The name comes from the Christian Bible references to Mary and Martha. The prevalent reference is Luke the Evangelist Luke10:39-42. In this passage, Christ and his followers were invited to Martha’s home for a meal. While Martha busied herself preparing the meal, Mary sat with Christ and the others. Martha was agitated because Mary was not helping prepare the meal. She asked Christ if He did not care. Christ gently reminded her that the meal was not the important task, but the hearing of His Word was the "one thing needful." Mary and Martha also appear in the gospel of John the Apostle John, Jn11:1-44 and Jn12:2-8.
