When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own" (John 19:25-27). − Following the crucifixion:+ − {{cquote|''Jesus was in the grave for three days.

This Feast is a Public Holiday in many countries. In 1950, [[Pope Pius XII]] formally declared to be dogma the belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary. ''The Orthodox Church expresses reverence toward the Blessed Virgin by the many feast days commemorating the various events in Her life.

Terri Schiavo was a former ana/mia who went into a persistent vegetative state after a fit of thinspiration. This was caused by cardiac arrest brought on by an electrolyte imbalance due to her eating disorder. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, wanted to kill her because he doesn't like the idea of voyeuristic nurses, as the chance of being seen having sex with his vegetable wife in a hospice was too great. Though she had been removed from the feeding tube, there were rumors that she seemed to be getting some sustenance after her husband's visits.
Schiavo had been a great source of lulz during March of 2005. Her feeding tube was inserted and removed constantly over the years, and it required the courts and Congress to intervene, and various communities to have Schiavo-thons over that last month.
'''Mary''' (Greek: Μαρία) is the name of the mother of our Lord, [[Jesus Christ|Jesus of Nazareth]]. In the gospel accounts, Jesus was born in [[Bethlehem]] of [[Judea]] to a young virgin, by the [[Holy Spirit]]. The [[gospel of Matthew]] describes the virgin birth of Jesus as fulfilling the prophecy of [[Isaiah]] 7:14. The [[gospel of Luke]] relates that the angel [[Gabriel]] visited Mary in order to announce to her that she had been chosen to bear the [[Son of God]].<ref>Luke 1:26–38</ref>
Good ol' boy Jesse Jackson even piped in to get his face back in the national media. Arriving in a white stretch limo he made a brief speech saying that it was inhumane to not even give her water, or ice for her chapped lips, and damn, can't she just have a slurpee?
On October 15, 2003 the Florida legislature passed and Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed "Terri's Law," which named her the official state vegetable of Florida.
