Mary and the Tomb

 It's not yet Easter, but we were celebrating the coming of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It's not yet Easter, but Lent feels like it's almost over but it's not over yet. 

Mary Magdalene visits the tomb, and it looks like Easter Sunday, but in the hit TV series, 'The Chosen', it's a foreshadowing, as she glances and looks more in depth into the tomb, the one that Lazarus rose from after the great and last miracle and sign of Jesus. I personally have loved the way they have detailed Mary Magdalen's story and journey in 'The Chosen', her spiritual growth and depth, her witness to faith, her battles, her courage.

I also love how The Chosen does this- foreshadowing, creative snapshots, interesting storytelling, characters arcs, as well as clever and captivating dialogue and scenes. I was drawn to this image of Mary, so I put it as my screen saver on my computer. It's a remembering of Jesus' resurrection, His great miracle, mercy, love and redemption but also, as a reminder I guess, to pay attention, to listen. 

Mary Magdalen was paying close attention and listening, and was even there during Christ's passion. She was awake and spiritually prepared. This what I see in this snapshot. And it's not Easter yet, so just a few short days and the Tridium coming soon to prepare and be spiritually awake.
