Mary's three

At the foot of the cross stood the three Mary's. Mary of Clopas is explicitly mentioned only in John 19:25, where she is among the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus: Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Below is a Caravaggio painting of Mary of Clopas with hands raised.

Hi Bobby, how are You?
Just read Your post about the 3 Marys, liked it very much.
Today I went to mass to honor St. Mary Magdalena, I read a fascinating book about her, written by P. Christoph Wrembek S. J., don't know if there exists an translation into English.
P. Wrembek presumes that St. M. M. is the „Mary", who is the sister of Lazarus and Martha.
Best wishes, Your friend Joe

Yes, and some commentators leave out any Mary other than the BVM and Mary Magdalen.
