I run about a week behind answering. This gap is not going to improve. Rest assured, everybody, if you pose a serious question, I will answer. If you see that I caught up with posts more recent than yours, I somehow missed your post. Then remind me by freepmail and point to the post I missed.
are you saying that the Mary, mother of James and Joses in Mark 15:40 is not the mother of Jesus and was not present at the time?
Combining all accounts (specifically Mark's and John's) we understand that Mary the Mother of God and Evangelist John were at the foot of the Cross. Mary the mother of James and Joses and Salome who is also the wife of one Cleophas, as well as Mary Magdalene and unnamed other women, and the Centurion, were at some distance away but also present. Three Marys in all among the named ones.
Here's a traditional icon of the scene:
Mary the Mother of God, and St,. John are in the foreground, nimbed. There are three more women in the background behind Mary, that is the two other Marys and an unnamed woman. The centurion is farther to Christ's left. The icon also shows multiple angels.
