SAINT MARY "Our Lady of Walsingham pray for us" The honor paid to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, goes back to the earliest days of the Church. During Jesus' ministry in Galilee, we learn that Mary was often with the other women who followed Jesus and ministered to his needs. At Calvary, she was among the little band of disciples who kept watch at the cross. After the resurrection, she was to be found with the Twelve Apostles in the upper room, watching and praying until the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost. Mary was the person closest to Jesus in his most impressionable years. And the words of the Magnificat, as well as her humble acceptance of the divine will, bear more than an accidental resemblance to the Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. Many things regarding Mary cannot be proved from Holy Scripture. However, what we can believe is that one who stood in so intimate a relationship with the incarnate Son of God on earth must have a place of highest honor in the eternal life of God. Emblems associated with Saint Mary are a fountain, lily, the "Traditional Chair" and the Holy House. Mary is represented as our Lady of Walsingham in her appearance to the Lady Richelois in 1061 on Richeldis' Norfolk Manor.
