She is depicted as a devoted and hospitable woman, often concerned with the practical aspects of service and hospitality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Jewish context, hospitality was a highly valued virtue, and women like Martha played a crucial role in managing household affairs.
