The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

CHAPTER LIII
4/7

Later, when night had quite fallen, Lazarus, the widow of Naim, Dina the Samaritan woman, and Mara of Suphan, came from Bethania, and then, once more, descriptions were given of all that had taken place, and many tears shed.
[According to the visions of Sister Emmerich, the three women named in the text had been living for some time at Bethania, in a sort of community established by Martha for the purpose of providing for the maintenance of the disciples when our Lord was moving about, and for the division and distribution of the alms which were collected.

The widow of Naim, whose son Martial was raised from the dead by Jesus, according to Sister Emmerich, on the 28th Marcheswan (the 18th of November), was named Maroni.

She was the daughter of an uncle, on the father's side, of St.Peter.Her first husband was the son of a sister of Elizabeth, who herself was the daughter of a sister of the mother of St.Anne.

Maroni's first husband having died without children, she had married Elind, a relation of St.Anne, and had left Chasaluth, near Tabor, to take up her abode at Naim, which was not far off, and where she soon lost her second husband.
Dina, the Samaritan woman, was the same who conversed with Jesus by Jacob's well.

She was born near Damascus, of parents who were half Jewish and half Pagan.
