Could you provide a neutral, factual summary about Lady Zhang (Lü Shao's wife) in Wikipedia style? | 610 | Lady Zhang (Lü Shao's wife) | Low | 2022-10-28 | Stub | 2022-10-28 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lady_Zhang_(L%C3%BC_Shao%27s_wife) | {{No footnotes|date=February 2022}}
'''Lady Zhang''' (張氏, personal name unknown; 386–400) was the wife of [[Lü Shao]] (Prince Yin), who briefly reigned (less than a month) as [[emperor]] of the [[History of China|Chinese]]/[[Di (Wu Hu)|Di]] state [[Later Liang (Sixteen Kingdoms)|Later Liang]].
Very little is known about her, but she was described as virtuous. Her age is known at the time of her husband's death (around the new year 400, when he was described as less than 20 years old and she was 13) by suicide, as he was threatened by the troops of his brother [[Lü Zuan]] (Emperor Ling), who overthrew him and took over as emperor. After Lü Shao's death, she became a [[Buddhist]] nun.
Later, either during Lü Zuan's reign or the succeeding reign of his cousin [[Lü Long]], Lü Long wanted to take her as a wife or a [[concubine]]; she refused, and committed suicide by jumping off a tower.

==Description==
Although usually spoken of as female, she has both [[androgyny|female and male aspects]]. She was sometimes referred to as ''Makapatag'' (also spelled ''Macapatag'' in Spanish sources, literally "the leveler"), her male aspect. She was regarded as a milder and more sympathetic deity of justice and equality in her female form than as her male form Makapatag, the destructive deity of punishment and vengeance.<ref name="Yepes">{{cite book |last1=Yepes |first1=Victoria |title=Etnografía de los indios Bisayas del siglo XVII |date=1996 |publisher=Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas |location=Madrid |isbn=9788400076184 |volume = 15|series=Colección Biblioteca de Historia de América |pages=71–72}}</ref><ref name="Demetrio"/><ref name="Caballes">{{cite web |last1=Caballes |first1=Mary Joyce |title=The Boxer Codex: The Bisayan Chapter (Part 2) |url=https://thepinaywriter.com/the-boxer-codex-the-bisayan-chapter-part-2/ |website=The Pinay Writer |access-date=4 June 2024}}</ref><ref name="makaako">{{cite web |last1=Clark |first1=Jordan |title=Visayan Deities in Philippine Mythology |url=https://www.aswangproject.com/visayan-deities-in-philippine-mythology/ |website=The Aswang Project |date=February 6, 2016 |access-date=4 June 2024}}</ref> As a supreme creator deity, Laon is also identified with ''Makaako'', who is said to dwell in the uppermost level of the seven layers of the universe.<ref name="makaako"/>
Laon is usually mentioned in the various Visayan creation myths as the creator of the first creature (a bird, usually a ''[[Philippine eagle|manaul]]'') who finds the first islands and indirectly causes the emergence of other creatures, including the first man and woman whom it finds inside either a [[bamboo]] or [[rattan]] stem.<ref name="Ramos">{{cite book |series=Filipino Heritage|volume=1|last1=Ramos |first1=Maximo D. |title=The Creation of Man in Philippine Myths |date=1977 |publisher=Lahing Pilipino Publishing Inc. |location=Manila}}</ref><ref name="Clark">{{cite web |last1=Clark |first1=Jordan |title=Examining the 'First Man & Woman From Bamboo' Philippine Myths |url=https://www.aswangproject.com/malakas-maganda-myth/ |website=The Aswang Project|date=June 15, 2020 }}</ref> In ancient times, shamans (''[[babaylan]]'') would climb up the volcano and do rituals every good harvest season or when there was a special ceremony. They would also offer gifts as a sign of respect.
She was first recorded as "Lalahon" or "Lahon" by the [[conquistador]] Miguel de Loarca in ''Relación de las Yslas Filipinas'' (1582). De Loarca specifically identifies her as female and records that Lalahon was an agricultural deity invoked by the natives for good harvests. When she was displeased, she would send [[locust]]s to spoil the crops. De Loarca also specifically mentions that she dwells in the Kanlaon volcano.<ref name="Blair">{{cite book |last1=Blair |first1=Emma Helen |last2=Robertson |first2=James Alexander |last3=Bourne |volume=5 (1582–1583)|first3=Edward Gaylord |title=The Philippine Islands, 1493–1803 |date=1903 |publisher=The Arthur H. Clark Company |url=https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Philippine_Islands,_1493-1803/Volume_5}}</ref>
Laon is sometimes erroneously identified as a goddess of fire, due to the English mistranslation of De Loarca's description in ''[[The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898]]'' (Blair & Robertson, 1903). The book the original Spanish ({{lang|es|"...que heçha fuego"}}) as " hurls fire" instead of the correct "[''the volcano'']... which hurls fire".<ref name="Blair"/>
In ''Relación de las Islas Filipinas'' (1604), the [[Jesuit]] priest [[Pedro Chirino]] records the name of the spirit as "Laon" and identifies it as a [[creator deity]], equivalent to the [[Tagalog people|Tagalog]] [[Bathala]].<ref name="Yuste">{{cite book |last1=Yuste |first1=Eduardo Descalzo |title=Ciencia Y Cultura entre Dos Mundos: Segundo Simposio |date=2010 |publisher=Fundación Canaria Orotava |isbn=9788461550449 |chapter=La historia natural y moral de Filipinas en la obra de Pedro Chirino, S.I.

In the [[Hinilawod]] epic of the [[Suludnon people]] of [[Panay]], she was known as "Laonsina" (also "Alunsina") and was regarded as the goddess of the sky. Along with Tungkung Langit, they were the first two primordial deities in Suludnon creation myths.

== Testimony of Sister Lavrentia's capture ==
{{block quote|The NKVD agents attacked our convent. They spent a long time breaking down the door. It was night-time; the sisters were terrified. Sister Lavrentia ran to the cellar and escaped into the garden through a little window. A cold rain started to fall. When the NKVD broke into the house they immediately noticed the open window and ran to look for her. It was dark and with their bayonets they poked every bush. A few times the bayonet was right in front of Sister’s eyes. Not finding her, the NKVD went away, but sister was out in the rain until the morning. She came to the house exhausted and frozen. After this incident she got seriously ill, and lay in bed. They took her to prison when she was infirm. – From the memories of a relative, Anna Harasymiv.<ref name=":1" />}}

'''Leofgifu''' was abbess of [[Shaftesbury Abbey]] in Dorset, England during the mid 11th century. She was the last Anglo-Saxon abbess to hold authority over Shaftesbury prior to the changes that occurred in England after the Norman conquest in 1066. Her successor [[Eulalia (abbess of Shaftesbury)|Eulalia]] was likely of French descent.
Her name is mentioned in the past tense in the 'Exon Domesday', a source related to the [[Domesday survey]].

What is the significance of Licinia (1st-century BC vestal) in religious studies?

She known in history for the case against her for incest with her cousin [[Marcus Licinius Crassus]], who allegedly attempted to frame her for breaking her vow of chastity in order to acquire her property.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Cadoux |first=T. J. |date=2005 |title=Catiline and the Vestal Virgins |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4436764 |journal=Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte |volume=54 |issue=2 |pages=162–179 |jstor=4436764 |issn=0018-2311}}</ref>
Licinia belonged to a prominent family. She became a Vestal in 85 BC, and remained a Vestal until 61. She was the cousin of "[[First Triumvirate|triumvir]]" [[Marcus Licinius Crassus]]. Their close relationship gave rise to rumors. Licinia was eventually publicly accused of having broken her vow of chastity by incest with her cousin after an occasion in which she had been closeted alone with him. Licinia refuted the charge by stating that the man in question was her cousin and that they had been alone only to discuss the purchase or sale of some of her property. Her defense was successful and she was freed from charges.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lewis |first=R. G. |date=July 2001 |title=Catilina and the Vestal |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/classical-quarterly/article/abs/catilina-and-the-vestal1/46883BC34EB03F113F707285316360B1 |journal=The Classical Quarterly |language=en |volume=51 |issue=1 |pages=141–149 |doi=10.1093/cq/51.1.141 |issn=1471-6844}}</ref>
[[Plutarch]] described the case:
:"And yet when he was further on in years, he was accused of criminal intimacy with Licinia, one of the Vestal virgins and Licinia was formally prosecuted by a certain Plotius. Now Licinia was the owner of a pleasant villa in the suburbs which Crassus wished to get at a low price, and it was for this reason that he was forever hovering about the woman and paying his court to her, until he fell under the abominable suspicion. And in a way it was his avarice that absolved him from the charge of corrupting the Vestal, and he was acquitted by the judges. But he did not let Licinia go until he had acquired her property."<ref>{{cite web |author=Plutarch |author-link=Plutarch |url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Crassus*.html |title=Life of Crassus |publisher=University of Chicago |date= |access-date=2012-11-19}}</ref>

The '''''Life and Miracles of Saint Thecla''''' ({{langx|la|De vita et miraculis sanctae Theclae}}) is a [[Greek language|Greek]] [[hagiography]] of [[Thecla]], the reputed follower of [[Paul of Tarsus]].<ref>{{cite book |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-504652-6 |last=Kazhdan |first=A.

It consists of two books, the first a biography and the second an account of 46 posthumous [[miracle]]s wrought by Thecla. The ''Life'' is an expansion of the earlier Greek ''Acts of Thecla''. The full ''Life and Miracles'' is about ten times longer than the ''Acts''.{{sfn|Honey|2011|p=13–14}}
The ''Life'' circulated independently of the ''Miracles'', but the ''Miracles'' was always transmitted with the ''Life''. There are a total of twelve [[manuscript]]s of the ''Life'', but only four of those include the ''Miracles''.{{sfn|Honey|2011|p=13–14}} The manuscripts that include the ''Miracles'' are:

The ''Life and Miracles'' is an anonymous work written in [[Seleucia]]. In the [[Middle Ages]], it was usually attributed to Bishop [[Basil of Seleucia]], a contemporary of the actual author.<ref>''[[Patrologia Graeca]]'', LXXXV, 477-618.</ref> This may have been based on the remark by [[Photios]] in the 9th century that Basil wrote an verse account of the deeds of Thecla. As the ''Life and Miracles'' is prose, it cannot be the work mentioned. In fact, the author remarks that Basil excommunicated him for a time. Nevertheless, he is still often known as Pseudo-Basil of Seleucia.{{sfn|Honey|2011|p=18–24}}

'''Linda King Newell''' (January 16, 1941 – February 12, 2023) was an American historian and author.
Newell co-authored the 1984 book entitled, ''[[Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith]]'', with [[Valeen Tippetts Avery]]. During this time (1982–86) she was editor of the scholarly Mormon periodical entitled, ''[[Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought]]'', with her husband [[L. Jackson Newell]], a professor at the [[University of Utah]],<ref>Anderson, Lavina Fielding.

While Newell did not have formal training as a historian, she achieved prominence for her work in [[Mormon studies]]. ''Mormon Enigma'', her biography of [[Emma Smith]] received the interpretive history prize from the Mormon History Association. This and her other articles examining how women's power in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) diminished after the 1950s caused her to be blacklisted by Mormon leaders. She was not allowed to speak about Mormon history at LDS Church events or meetinghouses, and her work was not allowed to be cited in church-published material.<ref name=nytimesobit>{{cite news |last1=Risen |first1=Clay |title=Linda King Newell, 82, a Blacklisted Feminist Scholar of Mormon History |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/books/linda-king-newell-dead.html |work=The New York Times |date=February 26, 2023}}</ref>

Write a brief encyclopedic entry on Lisa Eriksdotter that I can use as a starting point for a Wikipedia article. | 634 | Lisa Eriksdotter | Low | 2022-10-27 | Stub | 2022-10-27 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Eriksdotter | {{Short description|Finnish preacher (b. 1733)}}
'''Elisabeth "Lisa" Eriksdotter''' (15 October 1733 in [[Kalanti]] - year of death unknown), was a Finnish preacher of the ''{{ill|Rukoilevaisuus|fi}}''. Her religious visions and ecstasy contributed to the [[Awakening (Finnish religious movement)|religious awakening movement]] in Finland, which became very active during the 18th century. This movement often centered on female visionaries, and Eriksdotter played a prominent role in it.
==Life==
Lisa Eriksdotter was the daughter of farmer Erik Andersson and Liisa Jakobsdotter who lived in Kytämäki. In the fall of 1756, while tending her family's cattle, she was overcome by a vision of her sins and the impending judgement she would undergo.
While her fear of not being redeemed from hell intensified, she experienced severe cramps. As word of her experience spread, a wave of fear circulated through the village and the surrounding parishes. This event contributed to the Great Awakening.
A number of legends feature Eriksdotter, but no accounts of her visions were recorded. Her life after she left her home parish of Kytämäki in 1759 is unknown.
A memorial to Eriksdotter was erected near her birthplace, and the site remains a place where religious followers gather.

What is the significance of Lucina (mythology) in religious studies? I need content for a Wikipedia entry. | 653 | Lucina (mythology) | Low | 2023-06-30 | Stub | 2023-06-30 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lucina_(mythology) | {{Short description|Roman goddess of childbirth}}
In [[Religion in ancient Rome|ancient Roman religion]], '''Lucina''' was a title or [[epithet]] given to the goddess [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]],<ref name=gagarin/> and sometimes to [[Diana (mythology)|Diana]],<ref name=diana_religion>Green, C.M.C. (2007). ''Roman Religion and the Cult of Diana at Aricia''. New York: Cambridge University Press.</ref> in their roles as goddesses of [[childbirth]] who safeguarded the lives of women in labor.
The title ''lucina'' (from the Latin ''lux, lucis,'' "light") links both Juno and Diana to the light of the Moon, the cycles of which were used to track female fertility as well as measure the duration of a pregnancy. Priests of Juno called her by the epithet ''Juno Covella'' on the new moon.<ref name=gagarin>Gagarin, M. 2010. ''The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome'', Volume 1.

Juno Lucina was chief among a number of deities who influenced or guided every aspect of birth and child development, such as [[Vagitanus]], who opened the newborn's mouth to cry, and [[Fabulinus]], who enabled the child's first articulate speech. The collective ''[[di nixi]]'' were birth goddesses, and had an altar in the [[Campus Martius]].
The [[asteroid]] [[146 Lucina]] and the extinct species of ostracod [[Luprisca incuba]] are named after this aspect of the goddess.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140314/jsp/frontpage/story_18079996.jsp#.UziB0sd1HYx |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140315142932/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140314/jsp/frontpage/story_18079996.jsp#.UziB0sd1HYx |url-status= dead |archive-date= March 15, 2014 |title=Ma, they call her Luprisca|first= G.

The '''Lutheran Women's Missionary League''' ('''LWML''') is the official women's auxiliary of the [[Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod]] (LCMS).
The national organization publishes the ''Lutheran Woman's Quarterly'' four times a year, and districts usually have their own newsletters.
The LWML was established as an official auxiliary of the synod in a meeting at St. Stephan's Lutheran Church in Chicago, Illinois, on July 7–8, 1942. The formation of district and regional grouping of congregational women's societies starting in the 1920s had led the LCMS 1941 convention to urge the creation of the national group.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://www.lwml.org/history |access-date=2023-11-01 |website=Lutheran Women's Missionary League}}</ref>
Since 1998, the LWML has also been known as ''Lutheran Women in Mission''.
The LWML is divided into 40 districts in 4 convention regions (Western, Northern, Eastern, and Southern). The site of the national convention rotates among the regions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Districts |url=https://www.lwml.org/districts |access-date=2023-11-01 |website=Lutheran Women's Missionary League}}</ref>

Her father was a businessman; her mother was a puppeteer and founder of the Little Civic Theater.<ref name=":0" /> The Reform movement was not yet offering [[Bat Mitzva|Bat Mitzvahs]] to girls, but she participated in a Reform confirmation ceremony as a tenth grade student, where, she said, her rabbi told her that she could be a rabbi someday.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=veteranfeminists |title=Interview with Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb |url=https://veteranfeministsofamerica.org/interview-with-rabbi-lynn-gottlieb/ |access-date=2025-02-23 |website=Veteran Feminists of America |language=en}}</ref>

[[Jana Riess]] characterizes Wilder's signature book, ''Unveiling Grace'', as "more even-handed" than the provocative marketing campaign would suggest, differing from what Riess characterizes as the typical tell-all, [[ex-Mormon]] memoir in that it shows Wilder's love for Mormons as people, even as she rejects LDS theology.<ref name=Riess/>

Could you provide a neutral, factual summary about Magdalena Mortęska in Wikipedia style? | 671 | Magdalena Mortęska | Low | 2022-11-17 | Stub | 2022-11-17 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Magdalena_Mort%C4%99ska | [[File:Magdalena Mortęska.PNG|thumb|Magdalena Mortęska in the [[religious habit]] of a Benedictine, holding her [[crosier]] and the [[Rule of Saint Benedict]] (unknown painter of the 17th century]]
'''Magdalena Mortęska''' (2 December 1554 – 15 February, 1631), was a Polish [[Order of Saint Benedict|Benedictine]]. She was abbess in the Benedictine nunnery in Chełmno, a mystic, and a writer of religious literature. She is regarded a [[Servant of God]].
== Life ==
Magdalena Mortęska came from a family of wealthy nobility from Royal Prussia and is assumed to have been born on December 2, 1554, in Pokrzywno, near Grudziądz. Her father, Melchior, was the chamberlain of Malbork, and her mother, Elżbieta née Kostka, was the sister of the bishop of Chełmno, Piotr Kostka.
Despite her father's prohibition, Magdalena entered the Benedictine monastery in Chełmno in 1578. On June 4, 1579, she made her perpetual vows into the hands of her uncle, the Bishop of Chełmno, Piotr Kostka. A week after taking her vows, 25-year-old Magdalena Mortęska was elected [[abbess]] of the monastery.
She led the Benedictine convent out of the crisis it found itself in during the [[Reformation]]. She reformed the [[Rule of St. Benedict]], complementing the contemplative nature of the monastery with the teaching of girls. In the resulting "Chełmno reform", the Benedictine nuns placed particular emphasis on the education of the nuns, who had to learn to read and write in Polish and Latin. She revived spirituality by introducing meditation and meditation, and at the same time limited too strict [[asceticism|ascetic]] recommendations. One of the tasks of the monasteries was to provide education for girls - reading, writing, calculations, singing and handicrafts. These schools contributed to the development of education among women of noble and middle-class origins.
The reformed rule was accepted by the Roman Curia in 1605, and in 1606 it was officially approved by the Bishop of Chełmno, Wawrzyniec Gembicki. In 1589, Mother Magdalena obtained the possession of the Cistercian monastery in Żarnowiec, which she changed to a Benedictine monastery and staffed with nuns from Chełmno. In 1590, a monastery in Nieśwież, subordinated to Mortęska, was founded by Mikołaj Krzysztof Radziwiłł "Sierotka"; in 1603 she founded the monastery in Bysławek as a branch of Chełmno, and in 1604 the monastery in Lviv was subordinated to her. In the years 1604–1624, on her initiative, among others, monasteries in Poznań, Jarosław, Sandomierz, Sierpc and Grudziądz. In total, the Chełmno congregation during her lifetime numbered over 20 monasteries under the leadership of the Chełmno abbess. At the end of Mortęska's life, the further development of new foundations and monastic education was stopped by an epidemic and the war with Sweden in 1626–1629.
She also established a theological seminary in Poznań, educating chaplains for renovated monasteries; she participated in the foundation of the Jesuit college in Toruń in 1593. During her rule, a number of construction works were carried out in the Chełmno monastery, including adding several chapels to the monastery church and rebuilding the monastery buildings.
She died on February 15, 1631, after an illness lasting about a month.
== Works ==
She left numerous letters. Moreover, she is the author of two outstanding prose works that contribute to baroque religious and mystical literature. Both works contain important remarks about the dignity of the human person, freedom and human power, co-creating baroque Christian humanism and representing personalism, with its vision of the spiritual power of the individual. Both works were created as a record of Mortęska's monastic lectures for nuns, written down over the years by the sisters (subsequent listeners):
Spiritual teachings that constitute a commentary on the Holy Scriptures. meditations on the Passion of the Lord, a reflection on the Passion of Christ organized according to the pattern of Ignatian meditation.
== Beatification process ==
Shortly after her death, a cult began among the faithful and Benedictine nuns convinced of the holiness of her life. The [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] Stanisław Brzechwa wrote a life intended to prepare her beatification process. The body was then ceremoniously transferred to a separate grave in the crypt in front of the great altar of the monastery church.
In 1709, a special episcopal commission opened her grave, headed by Stanisław Józef Hozjusz, later Bishop of Poznań, and examined her body, which remained undamaged and was dressed in a new habit. However, the beatification process was soon suspended. Then, in 1741, a new coffin was made and moved to the nuns' common crypt. With the dissolution of the Benedictine monastery in 1817, her cult was forgotten and her body was hidden so that it could not be found. Later, the Sisters of Mercy lived in the monastery. In 1881, Sister Michalina Żemałkowska came to Chełmno and had dreams in which she found out where her coffin was. A search was then undertaken and she was found in a crypt outside the church walls. The date 1741 and the initials M. M. – X. K. C. (Magdalena Mortęska, abbess of the Chełmno monastery).
On April 4, 1953, a commission chaired by the Ordinary of the Chełmno diocese, Bishop Kazimierz Józef Kowalski with the participation of the historian Karola Górski opened the coffin and recognized M. Magdalena's body. It was dried, in relatively good condition, about 175 cm tall, missing its right eye, which she had gouged out in childhood. Her cult persisted in the Benedictine monasteries of the Chełmno reform until their dissolution.
Since 2006, her body has been resting in a crypt at the monastery in Chełmno. The beatification process has been initiated twice over the centuries, but without further success. It was only at the beginning of the 21st century that efforts to bring her to the altars were resumed. On December 18, 2015, Bishop Andrzej Suski of Toruń issued a special edict addressed to the faithful to provide them with materials and documents that could help in carrying out her beatification process.
After obtaining the consent of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome, in the church of St. John the Baptist and Saint Michael the Archangel in Lubawa, July 3, 2016, the process of her beatification was started by Bishop Andrzej Suski with a Pontifical Mass,

I'm researching Magnhild of Fulltofta for a Wikipedia stub. Can you give me a concise overview with key facts? | 672 | Magnhild of Fulltofta | Low | 2022-11-28 | Stub | 2022-11-28 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Magnhild_of_Fulltofta | {{short description|Danish Saint}}
'''Magnhild of Fulltofta''' (died before 1228), is a Danish [[Roman Catholic]] [[local saint]]. She is one of the three female saints of [[Scania]] alongside [[Sissela of Borrby]] and [[Tora of Torekov]], but she is the only one of them documented as an actual historical person.
Magnhild was described as a pious woman from Benarp who nursed the sick, and educated and provided for children. She was murdered by her daughter-in-law with an [[arrow]]. When her corpse was brought from [[Fulltofta]] home to Benarp, the coffin-carriers rested at Hästäng. There, a well appeared where they put down her coffin. After this, a chapel was erected by the well, and Magnhild, though never canonized by the pope, became the object of veneration.
The veneration of Magnhild is first mentioned in 1228. By then it was apparently a recent phenomenon, and she reportedly lived in the early 13th-century. In 1383, her remains were moved to [[Lund Cathedral]].

What is the significance of Mahalath in religious studies? I need content for a Wikipedia entry. | 673 | Mahalath | Low | 2022-11-29 | Stub | 2022-11-29 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mahalath | {{Short description|Third mentioned wife of Esau in the Book of Genesis}}
{{for|the wife of Rehoboam|Mahalath (wife of Rehoboam)}}
'''Mahalath''' was, according to the [[Hebrew Bible|Bible]], the third wife of [[Esau]], daughter of [[Ishmael]] and sister of [[Nebaioth]]. Esau took Mahalath from the house of Ishmael to be his wife, after seeing that his [[Canaan]]ite wives ([[Basemath]] and Judith) displeased his father, [[Isaac]] ({{bibleverse||Genesis|28:6-9}}).
Esau sought this union with a non-Canaanite, in an effort to reconcile his relationship with his parents,<ref name="Easton, 236">Easton, M. ''Illustrated Bible Dictionary'', ({{ISBN|1596059478}}, {{ISBN|978-1-59605-947-4}} ), 2006, p.236</ref><ref name="Phillips, 2842">Phillips, J. ''Exploring Genesis: an expository commentary'', ({{ISBN|0825434882}}, {{ISBN|978-0-8254-3488-4}}), 2001, p. 284</ref> namely with his father [[Isaac]] whose blessing he sought ({{bibleverse||Genesis|28:6-9|HE)}}). However, there is no record of his parents' approval for the union of Esau and Mahalath. She bore a son, [[Reuel]], to Esau. ({{bibleverse||Genesis|36:4|HE)}})
In {{bibleverse||Genesis|36:2,3|HE)}}, on the other hand, Esau's three wives are differently named; his family is mentioned as consisting of two Canaanite wives, [[List of minor Old Testament figures, A–K|Adah]], the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and [[Aholibamah]], and a third: Bashemath, Ishmael's daughter. Some scholars equate the three wives mentioned in Genesis 26 and 28 with those mentioned in Genesis 36, in the following way:<ref name="Phillips, 284">Phillips, J. ''Exploring Genesis: an expository commentary'', ({{ISBN|0825434882}}, {{ISBN|978-0-8254-3488-4}}), 2001, p. 284</ref>
* Basemath ({{bibleverse||Genesis|26:34-35|HE)}}) = [[Adah (daughter of Elon)|Adah]] ({{bibleverse||Genesis|36:2,3|HE)}}), the daughter of Elon the Hittite;
* Judith ({{bibleverse||Genesis|26:34-35|HE)}}) = [[Aholibamah]] ({{bibleverse||Genesis|36:2,3|HE)}}), also a Canaanite;
* '''Mahalath''' ({{bibleverse||Genesis|28:9|HE)}}) = Bashemath ({{bibleverse||Genesis|36:2,3|HE)}}), Esau's cousin and third wife, daughter of Ishmael
Nonetheless, other scholars dispute these connections.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Reuven-Klein/publication/305724978_The_Wives_of_Esau/links/579d046e08ae80bf6ea485de/The-Wives-of-Esau.pdf|title=the Wives of Esau |author=Klein, Reuven Chaim|year=2014|journal=Jewish Bible Quarterly

What is the significance of Manisha in religious studies? I need content for a Wikipedia entry. | 676 | Manisha | Low | 2022-12-01 | Stub | 2022-12-01 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manisha | {{Short description|Origin, history, etymology and sensical english translation of the term Manisha}}
{{about||the kabaddi player|Manisha (kabaddi)|the actress|Manisha Koirala|the singer|Manizha}}
{{more citations needed|date=August 2021}}
'''Manisha''' ({{Langx|sa|मनीषा|translit=Manīṣā}}) is a Sanskrit term meaning intelligence and desire.
== Usage ==
Manisha is used as a Hindu female name in India.
The Sanskrit term ''Manīṣā'' can be transliterated into English as Manisa or Manisha. The noun Manisha appears as early as the [[Rigveda|Rigveda Samhita]] and also in the [[Aitareya Upanishad]], which is a part of the second book of [[Aranyaka|Aitareya Aranyaka]] of Rigveda. And in the Rigveda Samhita, Manisha in most of the places is used to mean, ‘''praise''’.
However, both [[Adi Shankara]]charya and [[Sayana]]charya have stated that Manisha means "the independence of intellect (mati)’. Therefore, Manisha can be deciphered as "the intelligence which is capable of independent logical reasoning and rational analysis in determining truth or facts".
However, in [[Bengali language|Bengali]], Manisha is reference given to goddess of wish.
While, according to Sanskrit-English dictionary, Manisha has several meanings, some of them are:
* Desire, wish; यो दुर्जनं वशयितुं तनुते मनीषाम् ''(yo durjanam vashayitum tanute manisham)''<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=www.wisdomlib.org|date=2018-07-31|title=Manisha, Manīṣā: 11 definitions|url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/manisha|access-date=2021-06-13|website=www.wisdomlib.org}}</ref>
* Intelligence, wisdom, understanding; अतः साधोऽत्र यत् सारं मनुद्धृत्य मनीषया ''(atah sadhotra yat saaram manuddhartya manishya)''; प्रविभज्य पृथङ्मनीषया स्वगुणं यत्किल तत्करिष्यसि ''(pravibhajya prathamanishya svagunam yatkila tatkarishyasi)''<ref name=":0" />
* In Rigveda as hymn, praise, prayer.
* A thoughtfulness, reflection, idea, notion.

'''Marcela de San Félix''' (1605–1688) was a [[nun]] who worked as a prelate, a teacher to novices, and housekeeper among several other jobs. However, Sor Marcela was also a [[Poetry|poet]], an actress as well as a [[dramatist]].<ref name="Vollendorf2005">{{cite book |last1=Vollendorf |first1=Lisa |title=The Lives of Women: A New History of Inquisitional Spain |date=2005 |publisher=Vanderbilt University Press |isbn=978-0-8265-1481-3 |page=223 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qj5pyngX36sC&printsec=frontcover |access-date=31 December 2024 |language=en}}</ref>
For many women of the [[Middle Ages]], the [[Renaissance]], and [[Baroque]] periods to live a life completely retired from the world implied that they could live a life not only fully committed to [[God]], but it also meant that they were able to devote time to their own writing, to their community and perhaps they could even have a place in the administration of their own convents. This is exactly what happened to Marcela del Carpio.
She was the illegitimate daughter of [[Lope de Vega]] and the actress [[Micaela de Luján]]. She adopted the name of Marcela de San Félix and lived in the convent of St. Ildefonse of the Discalced Trinitarians in [[Madrid]] since age sixteen until she was eighty-two years old.

The Society was initially was formed to aid women in the South and the West, Mormon women, and missionaries throughout the country.<ref name=":0">Woman's Home Missionary Society Records, 1910-1913.</ref> The Society intended to send Christian women to "destitute" and "degraded" homes and neighborhoods where they would endeavor to "impart such instruction as can enlighten the minds, reform the habits, and purify the lives of the occupants."<ref name="lucy">{{cite web |last1=Apt Geer |first1=Lucy |title=Lucy W.
