Document Summary
* all names of women are biblical* married two sons of elimelech and naomi, judeans who had settled in moab to escape a famine in judah. The husbands of all three women die; naomi plans to return to her native bethlehem and urges her daughters-in-law to return to their families. Orpah does so, but ruth refuses to leave naomi, declaring (ruth 1:16-17), moments: the crucifixion and the resurrection and the resurrected jesus appeared to her, giving her significant status in christianity. Within the four gospels she is for the notion that she was a prostitute who was saved by a forgiving christ, but the early church accepted that story. Ruth accompanies naomi to bethlehem and later marries boaz, a distant relative of her late father- in- law. She is a symbol of abiding loyalty and devotion. (encyclopedia britannica) Mary magdalene, or mary of magdala and sometimes the magdalene, traveled with.
