Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus

Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus is a graphic novel by Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown, published in 2016.

As in his previous graphic novel Paying for It (2011), Brown takes a pro-prostitution stance in Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus.

Brown describes himself as a Christian who is "not at all concerned with imposing 'moral' values or religious laws on others" and believes that Biblical figures such as Abel and Job "find favour with God because they oppose his will or challenge him in some way".

[1] Brown adapts the stories or portions of stories of Cain and Abel, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary, mother of Jesus, the Parable of the talents, Mary of Bethany, Matthew, and the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

The cover features a vagina-shaped frame into which Brown incorporates two smiling snakes and an open book, from which red drops fall.
