Martha

Ask anything

  • Yalda asked

    Hello! Could you please tell me what is the meaning of the inscription?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi Yalda, the incription reads: MARTHA Hospitio Christum MARTHA officiosa receptat; Et natum veri praedicat eße Dei. It translates to: MARTHA. Martha saw hospitality for Christ as her duty; And preached that he was truly the son of God. It refers to the Bible story of the two sisters Martha and Mary, which you can find in Luke 10:38-42 and John 11:1-12:8. Kind regards, Tanja.
