Overview

Abraham or Fall and Redemption of Mary is a play in Latin written by Hrotsvit of Grandersheim (–973). The play follows a young orphan, Mary, who is persuaded by her uncle Abraham, a hermit, and his companion, Effrem, to lead a life of complete chastity and devotion to God. When Mary submits to temptation and loses her virginity, she flees her religious life to become a prostitute. Years later, when Abraham comes to her disguised as a lover, Mary returns to her life of devotion and submits to a strict regimen of penance. Hrotsvit's play is considered a story about the divine forgiveness and the power of Mary's redemption.
