Mary Troubles
Mark Lee Golden Copyright 2018 markleegoldenwriter.com
I have trouble with Marys.
Yes, many different attempts to create the true Mary. The song Silent Night can't be correct. Can it? Was she robbed of labor pains? Did Jesus just snooze after he slid out of the birth canal (all clean and shiny)??? We are sold on the bestest newborn ever, like he couldn't even cry or know what he'd do that for?
I'm assuming that if he didn't make a peep, like wanting to be (breast) fed, he was the most kicked backed infant imaginable. "Wait a minute, Mark! You really think Mary breast fed!?! C'mon! That's the Virgin we're talkin' about...watch your step!" He we go again. It's like he never needed his diaper changed--after all, he was Jesus. Does a "holy infant" poop?
Don't forget, 8 days later his penis was carved by a knife so that a ring of flesh was cut off=circumcision. I'm betting my King James Bible on some howling and tears--by the Savior. The Jewish tradition is to put a drop of wine (not grape juice) on the tongue of the baby boy to help the infant's pain. That's certainly the definition of "symbolic" to me.
Anyway, back to the many Marys out there, mostly shivering in the cold outside of churches or home outdoor displays. I do like concentrating this semi-humorous blog on a shockingly dramatic thought. The Mary I have researched, the Jewish gal, would shriek at the attention, veneration, songs, and unlimited prayers for and to her.
It's like this: My Mary gets off the bus downtown and visits a nearby church...with a baseball bat in her hands. Where did she get the bat from? I don't know, and it's not important. So, she strolls in the door and sees big and tiny statues of herself and a little baby. Oh! She also finds a fancy crown on her Jewish head. Mary smirks, "Queen of Heaven?!? Oh yeah right, please. What's next?"
(Now understand, these are statues. Never, no way, could anyone ever mistake them for idols, ‘cause Christians know what trouble idolatry caused the Jews. God hates idol worship, He's very clear on that.)
But Mary mistakenly sees lit candles, incense and other paraphernalia crowded around at the ceramic and plastic feet of these Mary look-alike idol looking things. WOW! BAM! BAM! BAM! Fake Marys 0, Real Mary hits them all outta ballpark.
The annoying thing is that the venerating multitude sees her destructive vindication and the mess she has made. Weeping in unbelief, they demand that she leave their church or the police will be called. As she walks out, literally in real holy sweat, BAM! There goes the holy water holder. Smacks that thing down due to one swing. Now, with the bat resting on one shoulder, Mary walks out the door, she grins, cause she is just getting started.
Outside of the church she stops on the sidewalk and prays, "Father forgive them, for they know what they are doing."
Another commentary from REAL LIFE. This parody is for amusement. Any similarity to real people, places or divine beings is fictitious and not to be taken as fact.
