Mary of Bethany is a New Testament figure, sister of Lazarus and Martha, who lived in Bethany near Jerusalem. She appears mainly in the Gospels of John and Luke.

She is best known for two key moments:
* Anointing Jesus with expensive perfume and wiping his feet with her hair, an act of devotion that Jesus interprets as preparation for his burial.
* Her posture as a disciple, sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening, contrasted with her sister Martha’s focus on serving.
Mary is also present in the story of Lazarus’ resurrection, where her grief moves Jesus deeply.

Historically, Western Christianity once identified her with Mary Magdalene and the “sinful woman” in Luke, but modern tradition distinguishes them as separate individuals. Today, Mary of Bethany is honored alongside her siblings, while Mary Magdalene has her own separate feast day.

Overall, Mary of Bethany is remembered for her deep devotion, spiritual attentiveness, and emotional connection to Jesus.
