Widow’s Mite
The Widow's Mite is a term derived from a story in the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Mark (Mark 12:41-44) in the New Testament. It is a parable told by Jesus in which he observes people making offerings at the temple treasury. Many wealthy individuals were giving large sums of money, but a poor widow came and gave only two small coins, which were together worth only a small fraction of a penny.
