Mary'am was one of the carefree maidens that went to the well at dawn to bring water for her family.
I took note of her because of how sweet and tender she was towards anyone younger or more helpless than her.
It took us all by surprise when she fled (?) to Ain Karin where a relative lived.
Why, that was a five days journey and none of us could understand that such protective parents would suddenly let her go.
Rumor had it that she had seen an angel but I didn't put too much stock in that.
