The name ''Mary'' (Greek ' or ') appears 61 times in the New Testament, in 53 different verses.〔 (Bible Gateway search results for ''Mary'' ) 〕 It was the single most popular female name among Palestinian Jews of the time, borne by about one in five women, and most of the New Testament references to ''Mary'' provide only the barest identifying information. Scholars and traditions therefore differ as to how many distinct women these references represent and which of them refer to the same person. A common Protestant tradition holds that there are six different women named as ''Mary'' in the New Testament: Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene; Mary of Bethany; Mary mother of James the younger; Mary mother of John Mark; and Mary of Rome. 〔 〔http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/mary.html retrieved 5 April 2013 〕 A common Roman Catholic tradition includes six New Testament saints called ''Mary'': Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene, Mary, mother of James and Joses; 〔 (Mary) Salome (who is also identified as the mother of James and Joseph the sons of Zebedee), Mary of Clopas, Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus. And there are other variations. In most traditions at least three Marys are present at the Crucifixion and at the Resurrection, but again traditions differ as to the identities of these three, and as to whether they are the same three at these two events. ==Mary, mother of Jesus== (詳細はthe Madonna'', is one of the main characters of the Gospels. The terms ''Mariology'' and, in the context of Christianity, ''Marian'' (for example in ''Marian devotions'' and ''Marian apparition''), both most commonly refer to this person. She is mentioned by name twelve times in the Gospel of Luke, 〔 note Chapter 1 verses 27,30,34,38,39,41,46,56 and Chapter 2 verses 5,16,19,34 〕 five times in the Gospel of Matthew, once in the Gospel of Mark and once in the Book of Acts. Nearly all of these mentions by name are within the Christmas story, which appears only in Matthew and Luke, not in Mark or John. Only two of the Gospel passages that mention this Mary by name, and , are later in Jesus' life, and they are generally accepted as parallel passages describing the same event. In addition and both describe Mary's visit to Jesus as an adult but without mentioning her by name, and describes an event from Jesus' later childhood with Mary again a major player but not mentioned by name. The Gospel of John mentions her twice 〔 〕 but without naming her, and is the only one of the Gospels to explicitly state that she was present at the Crucifixion. Matthew and Mark both list two women named ''Mary'' as present, 〔 〕 but most traditions do not identify either of these with the mother of Jesus, leading to the conclusion that there were three Marys present. Matthew and Mark also record the attendance of many other women whom they do not name,〔 〕 and Luke does not identify by name any of the ''many women'' present. All traditions affirm her presence at the Crucifixion. Roman Catholic tradition assigns her feast days of January 1 (Mother of God), March 25 (Annunciation), August 15 (Assumption) and December 8 (Immaculate Conception), while the Church of England celebrates March 25 (Annunciation), May 31 or 2 July (visitation to Elizabeth), 15 August (Blessed Virgin), 8 September (Birth, and alternative date for Blessed Virgin) and 13 December (Conception).〔 See Calendar of saints (Church of England) 〕 The Lutheran church commemorates her at lesser festivals on May 31 (visitation to Elizabeth) and August 15 (Mother of Our Lord).〔 See Calendar of Saints (Lutheran) 〕 See also: * Mariology * * Roman Catholic Mariology * * Anglican Marian theology * * Lutheran Marian theology * * Protestant views on Mary * Blessed Virgin Mary (Roman Catholic) * Theotokos * Ecumenical meetings and documents on Mary * Mary in Islam * Virgin Mary (disambiguation) * Mary ever virgin (disambiguation) * Marian feast days 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Testament people named Mary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
