Sieger Koder: Mary at cross and tomb bearing grief and loss
There were also women looking on [as Jesus died] from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene … Mary Magdalene and Mary mother of Joses saw where the body was laid. When the Sabbath was over [they] bought spices so that they might go and anoint him.
Mark 15:40,47-16:1
… Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.’
John 20:11-13
Man … Woman … why are YOU weeping?
What loss are you bearing?
What is being stripped away?
Name some of your broken dreams.
