Lentorama Saint of the Day: St. Mary Cleophas

Mother of St. James the less and Joseph. She was one of the "Three Marys" who served Jesus, and went with Mary Magdalen to Jesus' tomb. There are various traditions surrounding Mary, from who exactly was related to her (one legend suggests she was the mother of St. Jude) to how she spent the latter part of her life (missionary work to Spain or France). Regardless, she seems like a good choice for Palm Sunday.
