And lest we forget Martha Washington was named after who else-—Martha the sister of Lazarus and Mary -— the name itself originates from the Aramaic “martha” meaning “lady” or “mistress.”

Martha calls me “Theo”, and I get to hold her during the liturgy as long as my back holds out. I always get a big wet kiss! She’s my “mavritsa koukla”!
