Kay Murdy

Song of the Dove Kay Murdy

Here is the story of a Jewish woman of the first century, Miryam of Natzeret, who lived in a tiny village nestled in the hills of Yisrael at the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. She had parents, friends, a husband, and a son, and she struggled to understand things happening to her in a time and place with more than its share of turmoil, both political and religious. What happened tested both her faith and her courage. Miryam was a remarkable woman made of flesh and blood, and a "dove" as her husband called her, but also a strong woman, mother, wife and - eventually - widow and bereaved parent. She became the spiritual center of a small group of followers of her son that carried his message of love and forgiveness to world.
