mary was a maiden who lived in nazareth a small town in the city of galilee she was betrothed to
get married to a young man called joseph who was a carpenter mary was an obedient servant
of the lord and blindly believed in god one day as she was cleaning up her house an angel of god
named gabriel appeared to her and said mary god has chosen you as the woman who is going to give
birth to the messiah mary was scared gabriel said to her do not be afraid mary for you have found
favor with god you will soon bear a son and you shall name him jesus he will be the son of god
and the greatest of all the world will be his kingdom and there will be no end to it
the faithful obedient and trusting servant of god that mary was she submitted herself to the lord's
will she said whatever the lord says i am the servant of the lord but how will i bear a son
and the angel answered the holy spirit will come upon you and the power of god will overshadow you
and your holy child shall be born the earth will have with them the son of god saying this gabriel
left hearing this news mary immediately went to elizabeth elizabeth was the wife of zechariah
who was destined to give birth to john the baptist when elizabeth heard the news from
mary the baby in elizabeth's womb leapt in glory and soon elizabeth was filled with the holy spirit
she said you are the blessed one among all the women mary and blessed is the child you will bear
but why did the lord shower so much favor on me that the mother of my lord should come to visit me
the moment i heard your news with my ears the baby inside me left in joy
the lord has blessed you mary for the immense faith you have in the lord few days passed and
one night joseph had a dream an angel appeared to him and guided him to go to bethlehem with mary
the journey was long and very tiring for mary once they reached bethlehem it was time for mary to
give birth to the son of god soon mary gave birth to baby jesus in a manger where all the animals
bowed down at the sight of the baby it is believed that mary was jesus's first disciple
when jesus was still very young they were invited to a wedding at cana in galilee the wine at the
wedding had run out so mary came up to jesus and said they have no wine to this jesus replied very
gently what can i do mother my hour has not come yet mary understood what jesus was trying to say
she believed in his words and said to the servants do as he says that's when mary became jesus's
very first disciple she had faith in him as the son of god jesus was not the only child of mary
mary gave birth to other children also who were addressed as jesus's brothers in many places in
the bible the day jesus was to be crucified mary mary magdalene and mary's sister all of them
stood next to jesus's cross when jesus saw his mother he looked at john his most loved disciple
and said behold your mother then he looked at his mother and said behold your son
from that moment onward john took mary to his home and loved her no less than his own mother
after jesus's death mary the mother of jesus along with his twelve disciples and the other women
prayed together for the spirit in jerusalem they committed their lives to devotion and prayer
so mary of nazareth was one of the most important women of the bible
as she gave birth to jesus the son of god wow that's a wonderful story holy

great importance in the bible she is known for her loyalty and she had full faith in god in her heart
ruth lived in a little village called maob and she was a young girl when she got married to a man
named mahalon maalon and his family had moved to maub because their village had been attacked
by a mage of famine as soon as marlon's family reached maoba he died because of a severe illness

was married to ruth while chilean was married to oprah 10 years after they got married both marlon
and chilean died leaving behind naomi ruth and oprah all alone with no one left alive in her life
naomi decided to go to bethlehem she said to her daughters-in-law there's no one left in my family
anymore apart from the two of you i have decided to go to bethlehem two of you can leave me and
go wherever you wanna go you can go back to your own families if that makes you happy hearing this
oprah decided to go back to her family she knew if she went to bethlehem with naomi her life would be
even more difficult but to nail me surprise ruth said don't ever ask me to leave where you go i go
where you stay i will stay with you your friends will be my friends and your god will be my god
naomi was happy in her heart of hearts to hear this the journey to bethlehem was a long and
a difficult one she couldn't have made it alone also she loved ruth for her clean and pure heart
so oprah left for her home and naomi and ruth left together for bethlehem to live the rest of their
lives shortly after arriving ruth met a rich land owner in bethlehem named boaz she started working
in his field to provide for herself and naomi her dedication and loyalty towards her work
really impressed boaz and he wanted to marry her boaz and ruth soon got married and naomi was very
happy for them and blessed them with all her heart eventually naomi gave birth to a son and they
named him obid obed is the grandfather of david and thus is named as one of the ancestors of jesus
in the gospel of matthew and in the gospel of luke so this is the story of ruth who was faithful

blessed her for her loyal and faithful virtues this makes ruth one of the most remarkable women

the holy tales then let us begin listening to the story of rebecca
the woman who relied on her own strength instead of trusting the lord completely
rebecca was the young wife of isaac and the mother of jacob and esau she was the
daughter of bethel when isaac was a young boy his father abraham was looking for a bride for isaac
so abraham sent one of his servants to the city of nahar to find a suitable bride for isaac
servant looked everywhere in the city but did not find one he was tired and exhausted so he sat near
the well to rest while he rested he prayed to god that the next young woman who came to the well
and gave him water to drink will be the girl chosen as isaac's bride as he prayed rebecca came
to the well to get some water with a jar on her shoulder she saw the servant tired and exhausted
so she offered him and his camel some water to drink and some food to eat immediately
the servant knew that rebecca was the girl who god had sent to be isaac's wife the servant brought
rebecca to abraham and soon isaac and rebecca got married years went by but rebecca and isaac
had no children isaac prayed to god day in and day out without losing hope
soon god heard his prayers and blessed rebecca with twins jacob and esau jacob and esau were
the first twins mentioned in the bible even before they were born rebecca could feel the both of them
fighting inside her womb she prayed to god asking him the reason for the two brothers
fighting all the time to this god said rebecca you are going to give birth to two nations
they are both inside you right now and that's why they are at odds with one another one shall be
stronger than the other the older will serve the younger soon it was time for rebecca to give birth
esau was born first who grew up to become isaac's favorite son while jacob was rebecca's in those
days the practice was that the firstborn was always entitled to receive birthright
and since esau was born first he would have inherited the birthright this saddened rebecca
she loved jacob and wanted him to have it it was jacob who tricked his own brother
into selling him his birthright for a bowl of stew later when isaac grew old and he was on his
deathbed and could not see rebecca helped jacob to deceive isaac into blessing him instead of esau
she used goatskins on jacob's hands to imitate esau's hairy arms
years later a lot of things happened and esau was finally able to forgive jacob
when rebecca died she was buried in the family tomb a cave near mamor in canaan which was also
the resting place of abraham sarah and isaac later jacob was also buried in the same tomb that was
an amazing story holy thank you for telling us all about rebecca i'm glad you enjoyed it tubby
