Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus were evidently close friends of Jesus, who came to their home simply as a welcomed guest. On one occasion (see Luke 10:38-42) Martha prepares the meal for Jesus and possibly his fellow guests.
Martha's great glory is her simple and strong statement of faith in Jesus after her brother's death. Jesus told her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?' She said to him, 'Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world' (John 11:25-27).
Martha is a patron of cooks. Her Feast Day is July 29.
