Costly Devotion
A large stained glass window in St. Vitus Cathedral on Castle Hill in Prague portrays Mary of Bethany anointing the feet of Jesus with costly perfume made of pure nard. She would then wipe his feet with her hair, while her brother Lazarus and sister Martha looked on and Judas Iscariot (seated at table) complained about the extravagance of her devotion. See John 12: 1-8.
