Miryam of Jerusalem : teacher of the disciples

teacher of the disciples

Plot

At the beginning, we find Mary instructing the followers of Jesus in the ancient Jewish tradition (God's dealings with their ancestors) through expressive stories of such figures from Hebrew Scriptures as Eve, Hannah, Sarah and the Mother of the Macabees. Then she demonstrates the prayer of the early followers of her son in 18 beautifully composed Magnificats on such themes as justice, healing, fidelity and holiness. And finally, after the days of Pentecost, Mary recalls the teachings of her son, Jesus.
