  The Future Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes

  St. Mary of Clopas is one of the many Marys mentioned in the Gospels, but most importantly, she was one of the women to stay and stand at the Crucifixion. She stood as witness for all of us, and shows us how to do the same.

  There’s a lot of back and forth about who exactly Mary of Clopas is but none of it really matters unless you’re super into the family tree of Jesus. I’m not, that doesn’t really concern me much, so I acknowledge that there are a lot of theories and move on. What impresses me about Mary of Clopas is that she stayed.

  Mary of Clopas

  Woman present at the crucifixion of Jesus

  According to the Gospel of John, Mary of Clopas (Ancient Greek: Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ, María hē tou Clōpá) was one of the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus and bringing supplies for his funeral. The expression Mary of Clopas in the Greek text is ambiguous as to whether Mary was the daughter or wife of Clopas, but exegesis has commonly favoured the reading "wife of Clopas". Hegesippus identified Clopas as a brother of Joseph.^[1] In the latest official edition of the Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church she is commemorated with Salome on April 24.^[2]

  Along with Mary Magdalene and "Mary" Salome, Mary of Clopas is known as one of the Three Marys at the tomb of Jesus. Her relics are said to be in France at the Church of the Saintes Maries de la Mer.

  Appearances in the gospels

  Mary of Clopas is explicitly mentioned only in John 19:25, where she is among the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus:
