[Magdalen] Images and words about Mary

[Jay Weigel]

Blessed Mary "ever virgin"? Not on yer life, bud! Especially not if she was
a good Jewish wife, with all that entails! And it irks me no end to see
Joseph portrayed as an old man. I have always figured they were both fairly
young and confused by it all, but willing to be led by the holy spirit. We
older folks are a whole lot more cynical.
