'''Maria wa Bethania''' (jina lake kwa [[Kiebrania]] מִרְיָם, Miryām, kwa [[Kiaramu]] מרים, ''Maryām'', kwa [[Kigiriki]] Μαρία, Maria) alikuwa [[mwanamke]] wa [[Bethania]], [[kitongoji]] cha [[Yerusalemu]], katika [[karne ya 1]]<ref>https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/96761</ref>. 

[[Ndugu]] zake walikuwa [[Martha wa Bethania|Martha]] na [[Lazaro wa Bethania]], ambao wote [[Yesu]] alifurahia [[urafiki]] wao hasa [[hija|alipohiji]] kwenda Yerusalemu.

Wanaheshimiwa na [[Ukristo|Wakristo]] wengi kama [[watakatifu]]<ref>https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/99081</ref>.

[[Sikukuu]] yao inaadhimishwa pamoja tarehe [[29 Julai]]<ref>[[Martyrologium Romanum]]</ref> au [[4 Juni]], kadiri ya [[madhehebu]].

==Maisha==
Anajulikana hasa kutokana na [[Injili]], kwa namna ya pekee [[Injili ya Luka]] (10:38-42) na [[Injili ya Yohane]] (11; 12:1-8), katika [[Agano Jipya]] ndani ya [[Biblia ya Kikristo]]. 

Humo anaonekana mwenye [[silika]] ya [[utulivu]] na [[imani]] kwa [[Yesu Kristo]], ambaye alipendezwa sana na [[usikivu]] wake wakati alimfundisha ameketi chini karibu na miguu yake, kama ilivyokuwa kawaida ya [[Mwanafunzi|wanafunzi]] wa [[Uyahudi|dini ya Kiyahudi]], ingawa wakati huo [[wanaume]] tu walikubalika.
