Mary Header
daughter of one of the early Strine graziers. She was responsible, after years of bitter struggle with the authorities, for the introduction of compulsory education for sheep. She thus lit a lamp which has continued to burn steadily down the years and many of today's famous Strine sheep must be grateful to her memory. (One of the little lambs, Charles, who had followed her to school each day, eventually became an essayist and poet of considerable skill and composed the following song in memory of his sponsor: “Mary Header little lamb; An itellectual nit. It never passed its first exam Because it couldn't sit. So Mary Header little lamb With vedgies and mint sauce. `Oh dearest lamb,' she cried, 'I am As hungry as a horse.'”)

hebrew miriam.
1. the wife of joseph, the mother of jesus, called the "virgin mary," though never so designated in scripture (matt. 2:11; acts 1:14). little is known of her personal history. her genealogy is given in luke 3. she was of the tribe of judah and the lineage of david (ps. 132:11; luke 1:32). she was connected by marriage with elisabeth, who was of the lineage of aaron (luke 1:36). while she resided at nazareth with her parents, before she became the wife of joseph, the angel gabriel announced to her that she was to be the mother of the promised messiah (luke 1:35). after this she went to visit her cousin elisabeth, who was living with her husband zacharias (probably at juttah, josh. 15:55; 21:16, in the neighbourhood of maon), at a considerable distance, about 100 miles, from nazareth. immediately on entering the house she was saluted by elisabeth as the mother of her lord, and then forthwith gave utterance to her hymn of thanksgiving (luke 1:46-56; comp. 1 sam. 2:1-10). after three months mary returned to nazareth to her own home. joseph was supernaturally made aware (matt. 1:18-25) of her condition, and took her to his own home. soon after this the decree of augustus (luke 2:1) required that they should proceed to bethlehem (micah 5:2), some 80 or 90 miles from nazareth; and while they were there they found shelter in the inn or khan provided for strangers (luke 2:6, 7). but as the inn was crowded, mary had to retire to a place among the cattle, and there she brought forth her son, who was called jesus (matt. 1:21), because he was to save his people from their sins. this was followed by the presentation in the temple, the flight into egypt, and their return in the following year and residence at nazareth (matt. 2). there for thirty years mary, the wife of joseph the carpenter, resides, filling her own humble sphere, and pondering over the strange things that had happened to her. during these years only one event in the history of jesus is recorded, viz., his going up to jerusalem when twelve years of age, and his being found among the doctors in the temple (luke 2:41-52). probably also during this period joseph died, for he is not again mentioned. after the commencement of our lord's public ministry little notice is taken of mary. she was present at the marriage in cana. a year and a half after this we find her at capernaum (matt. 12:46, 48, 49), where christ uttered the memorable words, "who is my mother? and who are my brethren? and he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brethren!" the next time we find her is at the cross along with her sister mary, and mary magdalene, and salome, and other women (john 19:26). from that hour john took her to his own abode. she was with the little company in the upper room after the ascension (acts 1:14). from this time she wholly disappears from public notice. the time and manner of her death are unknown.

Mary
Mary The Christian ecclesiastical teachings as to Mary's perpetual virginity, her absolute sinlessness, and the role of intercessor were unknown during the ministry of Jesus and the immediately succeeding beliefs of the primitive Christians; although these three ideas in connection with the cosmic Virgin-Mother were familiar to exoteric and mythologic thought worldwide for ages preceding their adoption by Christian theologians some time after primitive Christianity. As to the idea of the perpetual virgin, as early as the latter part of the 2nd century Clement of Alexandria mentions it, but without accepting it, and not until the 4th century did it become a doctrine of the Church. Absolute sinlessness as a dogma seems to have been accepted as reluctantly as the former idea. Both Augustine and Anselm state their view that Mary the mother "was conceived in iniquity," and born "in original sin." The dogma of the intercession was not recognized by the Church until the 3rd century, when a wave of popular emotion initiated feast and holy days that are still observed.
The month of May was made sacred to Mary by the Christians, copying an ancient Greco-Latin view and practice, for the same month had been sacred to the Greek Maia or the Latin Vesta.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Mary
Hebrew Miriam. (1.) The wife of Joseph, the mother of Jesus, called the "Virgin Mary," though never so designated in Scripture (Matt. 2:11; Acts 1:14). Little is known of her personal history. Her genealogy is given in Luke 3. She was of the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David (Ps. 132:11; Luke 1:32). She was connected by marriage with Elisabeth, who was of the lineage of Aaron (Luke 1:36). While she resided at Nazareth with her parents, before she became the wife of Joseph, the angel Gabriel announced to her that she was to be the mother of the promised Messiah (Luke 1:35). After this she went to visit her cousin Elisabeth, who was living with her husband Zacharias (probably at Juttah, Josh. 15:55; 21:16, in the neighbourhood of Maon), at a considerable distance, about 100 miles, from Nazareth. Immediately on entering the house she was saluted by Elisabeth as the mother of her Lord, and then forthwith gave utterance to her hymn of thanksgiving (Luke 1:46-56; comp. 1 Sam. 2:1-10). After three months Mary returned to Nazareth to her own home. Joseph was supernaturally made aware (Matt. 1:18-25) of her condition, and took her to his own home. Soon after this the decree of Augustus (Luke 2:1) required that they should proceed to Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), some 80 or 90 miles from Nazareth; and while they were there they found shelter in the inn or khan provided for strangers (Luke 2:6, 7). But as the inn was crowded, Mary had to retire to a place among the cattle, and there she brought forth her son, who was called Jesus (Matt. 1:21), because he was to save his people from their sins. This was followed by the presentation in the temple, the flight into Egypt, and their return in the following year and residence at Nazareth (Matt. 2). There for thirty years Mary, the wife of Joseph the carpenter, resides, filling her own humble sphere, and pondering over the strange things that had happened to her. During these years only one event in the history of Jesus is recorded, viz., his going up to Jerusalem when twelve years of age, and his being found among the doctors in the temple (Luke 2:41-52). Probably also during this period Joseph died, for he is not again mentioned. After the commencement of our Lord's public ministry little notice is taken of Mary. She was present at the marriage in Cana. A year and a half after this we find her at Capernaum (Matt. 12:46, 48, 49), where Christ uttered the memorable words, "Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!" The next time we find her is at the cross along with her sister Mary, and Mary Magdalene, and Salome, and other women (John 19:26). From that hour John took her to his own abode. She was with the little company in the upper room after the Ascension (Acts 1:14). From this time she wholly disappears from public notice. The time and manner of her death are unknown. (2.) Mary Magdalene, i.e., Mary of Magdala, a town on the western shore of the Lake of Tiberias. She is for the first time noticed in Luke 8:3 as one of the women who "ministered to Christ of their substance." Their motive was that of gratitude for deliverances he had wrought for them. Out of Mary were cast seven demons. Gratitude to her great Deliverer prompted her to become his follower. These women accompanied him also on his last journey to Jerusalem (Matt. 27:55; Mark 15:41; Luke 23:55). They stood near the cross. There Mary remained till all was over, and the body was taken down and laid in Joseph's tomb. Again, in the earliest dawn of the first day of the week she, with Salome and Mary the mother of James (Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2), came to the sepulchre, bringing with them sweet spices, that they might anoint the body of Jesus. They found the sepulchre empty, but saw the "vision of angels" (Matt. 28:5). She hastens to tell Peter and John, who were probably living together at this time (John 20:1, 2), and again immedia

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Mary

a Roman Christian who is greeted by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, ch. (Romans 16:6) as having toiled hard for him. (a tear) of Cle'ophas. So in Authorized Version, but accurately "of Clopas," i.e. the wife of Clopas (or Alphaeus). She is brought before us for the first time on the day of the crucifixion, standing by the cross. (John 19:25) In the evening of the same day we find her sitting desolate at the tomb with Mary Magdalene, (Matthew 27:61; Mark 15:47) and at the dawn of Easter morning she was again there with sweet spices, which she had prepared on the Friday night, (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1; Luke 23:56) and was one of those who had "a vision of angels, which said that he was alive." (Luke 24:23) She had four sons and at least three daughters. The names of the daughters are unknown to us; those of the sons are, James, Joses, Jude and Simon, two of whom became enrolled among the twelve apostles See: James The Less, and a third See: Simon may have succeeded his brother ill charge of the church of Jerusalem. By many she is thought to have been the sister of the Virgin Mary.
