Mary, Mother of Jesus’s Later Years
After witnessing her son’s death and resurrection, Mary became a central figure in the early Christian community. Following Jesus’s request, the apostle John took her into his household, where she provided valuable guidance to new converts. Her presence strengthened the growing movement during its turbulent early years. Early Christian traditions, supported by both Eastern and Western churches, suggest she lived in Ephesus until around 50 AD, spending her final days encouraging new believers.
