Editing Martha (section)

====Roman Catholic====
The [[Latin Church]] celebrates the feast day of Martha, [[Mary of Bethany]] and their brother [[Lazarus of Bethany|Lazarus]] on 29 July.<ref>''Martyrologium Romanum'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2001 {{ISBN|978-88-209-7210-3}}), p. 398</ref> The feast of Martha, classified as a "semi-double" in the [[Tridentine calendar]], became a "simple" one in the [[General Roman Calendar of Pope Pius XII]], a "third class feast" in the [[General Roman Calendar of 1960]], and a [[Memorial (liturgy)|memorial]] in the present [[General Roman Calendar]].

Until 2021, the liturgical celebration had been solely of Martha, except among the [[Benedictines]]. In that year, [[Pope Francis]] changed it to commemorate the entire family. He further clarified that, contrary to widespread speculation, this Mary was a separate individual from [[Mary Magdalene]], called the Apostle to the Apostles.
