Commemoration As A Saint
St. Mary of Bethany is commemorated in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches with her sister Martha on June 4, as well as on the Sunday of the Myrrhbearers (the Third Sunday of Pascha, i.e. the Third Sunday of Easter). She also figures prominently in the commemorations on Lazarus Saturday (the day before Palm Sunday).
She is commemorated on July 29 in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church (together with Martha and Lazarus) and in the Calendar of saints of the Episcopal Church and the Church of England (together with Martha).

Famous quotes containing the word saint:
“A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn’t learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish. For him the truncated process of creating will always be an interrupted act of love, and his style will bear the shame of it, the impoverishment.”
—Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)
