Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to learn more about Mary the mother and I was wondering if anyone knows where she lived? I've done some research and I know she was living in Nazareth during Jesus' birth, but I'm not sure if that was her permanent residence. Does anyone have any information or know where I can find out more about this topic?

I'd really appreciate any help or advice.

Mary's Place of Residence in the Bible

The Bible does not specify where Mary, the mother of Jesus, lived. According to the New Testament, Mary was living in Nazareth in Galilee at the time of the Annunciation, when she was told she would be the mother of Jesus. She and her husband Joseph then traveled to Bethlehem in Judea, as directed by a decree from Caesar Augustus. After Jesus was born, they returned to Nazareth.

Mary's place of residence is also not specifically mentioned in the Old Testament. The Gospel of Luke states that Mary's parents, Joachim and Anne, were of the priestly line of David and lived in the hill country of Judea. However, it is not clear if Mary was born there or if she moved there later.

Mary's Place of Residence After Jesus' Crucifixion

After Jesus' crucifixion, Mary is believed to have returned to Jerusalem. She is said to have stayed in the upper room of the Cenacle, or the "Upper Room", with the Apostles and other disciples of Jesus.

The Bible does not specify Mary's place of residence after Jesus' death. However, some traditions suggest she traveled to Ephesus in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). There, she is believed to have lived in a house near the Temple of Artemis, where many early followers of Jesus gathered.

The Catholic Church holds that Mary eventually ascended bodily into heaven. This event is known as the Assumption of Mary.

Summary

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is not mentioned in the Bible as having a specific place of residence. In the New Testament, she is said to have lived in Nazareth in Galilee at the time of Jesus' birth. After Jesus' crucifixion, Mary is believed to have returned to Jerusalem and later traveled to Ephesus in Asia Minor. According to Catholic tradition, Mary was assumed into heaven at the end of her life.

Mary the mother of Jesus is believed to have lived in Nazareth, a city in the northern region of the modern-day state of Israel. It is mentioned in the Bible numerous times, most notably in the account of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel visited Mary to tell her she would give birth to the son of God. Mary and Joseph later moved to Bethlehem to fulfill a prophecy, but returned to Nazareth after the birth of Jesus. Mary is believed to have lived in Nazareth until Jesus's death, after which she is believed to have moved to Ephesus in modern-day Turkey.

Mary the mother of Jesus is believed to have lived in Nazareth and Bethlehem, both located in present-day Israel. She was born in Nazareth and lived there until she became betrothed to Joseph and moved to Bethlehem. According to tradition, Mary and Joseph had to flee to Egypt with Jesus when he was a young child, and then they returned to Nazareth where they lived until Jesus began his ministry. It is believed that Mary remained in Nazareth until her death.

Mary the mother was a woman of great faith and devotion. She lived during the time of Jesus' ministry and was present at his crucifixion. Mary resided in Nazareth, a small town in the Galilee region of northern Israel. She is believed to have been betrothed to Joseph, a carpenter from the same region. Mary was also present at the wedding of Cana, where Jesus performed his first miracle. She and Joseph later moved to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. Mary and Joseph then returned to Nazareth and remained there until the family moved to Egypt to escape persecution from King Herod. Mary eventually settled in the town of Ephesus in modern-day Turkey, and is believed to have died there.
