Eve‚ Mary-mother of Jesus‚ and Mary Magdalene are all prominent characters in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and to some extent are mentioned in the Quran.

A Prayer for Owen Meany "GOD HAS TAKEN YOUR MOTHER. MY HANDS WERE THE INSTRUMENT. GOD HAS TAKEN MY HANDS. I AM GOD’S INSTRUMENT." (87) A requirement of the human condition is to believe in something.
