Some students of mine are reading a book called Awakenings on their own. They came to me with a question about the book. I guess it is Catholic Fiction based on Jesus’ Passion. It sometimes refers to Mary the Mother of Jesus as Miriam.

I didn’t know how to answer so I am asking around.

Is Miriam interchangeable with Mary? Whats up?

The publisher is: Imagio Catholic Fiction from Sophia Institute Press

Seems like a pretty legit Catholic company, Sophia Press that is…

It is a Hebrew/Aramaic version of the name Mary. Just as Y’shua or Joshua is the Hebrew/Aramaic for Jesus.
