LK 2
41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
42 And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast;
43 and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it,
44 but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day's journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem looking for Him.
46 Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.
48 When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."
49 And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"
50 But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.
51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
Praise God, thank you for the reminder.hahaha. How does little bo peep go again--getting old
No it said "everywhere that Mary went"-the Lamb was sure to go. He didnt go home with them on purpose ,he wasnt lost. Mary should have realised that he belonged in his fathers house. But she didnt understand.
He continued in subjection to them and Mary treasured the moment.
Fine example of a humble son.

Ah...but the L-rd will find us where we are and bring something to our attention that may have escaped us before...even in the places of humor and nursery rhyme![]()

I cannot find "cockle shells" in the bible. Therefore this whole line of thinking is unbiblical and a tradition of men.Jeff...the rhyme isn't about the Blessed Virgin and Jesus. It's not some profound theological insight.It's just a small attempt at humor. As this is the 'Mariology' forum.
How's this?
Mary, Mary...quite contrary,
how does your Garden grow?
With Silver Bells and Cockle Shells,
And Pretty Maids all in a row.

Mary had a little Lamb,
Little Lamb, little lamb...
Mary had a little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
Everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went...
Everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go!

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why we are debating a freakin' nursery rhyme. People wonder why Theology moderators have a shelf life of about 5 months. Sheesh.
Not you hon. Most of the people here understood the OP to be a tack on humor, with a kiddish sense of theology mixed in. And, the OP is 100% squared with Scripture. The fact that someone had to come in here and make an arguement in here is beyond me.sorry... .
