Saint Martha

This full figure stone sculpture depicts Saint Martha. The work, originally housed at the Church of San Fermo, Verona, was probably sculpted by a Master of Sant'Anastasia in the 14th Century before being moved to The Museo di Castelvecchio. Martha of Bethany is a biblical figure described in the Gospels of Luke and John. Together with her siblings Lazarus and Mary of Bethany, she is described as living in the village of Bethany near Jerusalem. She was witness to Jesus resurrecting her brother, Lazarus.这件全身石雕作品刻画的是圣玛莎（Saint Martha）。该作品最初藏于维罗纳的圣费尔莫教堂，大概率由圣阿纳斯塔西亚大师（Master of Sant'Anastasia）于14世纪雕刻完成，后被迁至卡斯特尔韦基奥博物馆（Museo di Castelvecchio）。伯大尼的玛莎是《路加福音》与《约翰福音》中记载的圣经人物。据记载，她与兄长拉撒路、姐妹伯大尼的马利亚（Mary of Bethany）一同居住在耶路撒冷附近的伯大尼村落，并亲眼见证了耶稣复活其兄长拉撒路的事迹。
