For var nu ikke alle huslige bekymringer og besværligheder som tryllet bort fra Martines og Philippas tilværelse, så at de bestandig havde tid til at lytte til deres gamle venners fortrolige meddelelser og deres bekymringer for deres udødelige sjæl? Ingen af dem behøvede nu at påtage sig Marthas rolle, det ***lyste*** gennem årene med stadig finere og rigere glans af de to stilfærdige Maria’er.

None of them needing to take on Martha's rolle, (because) through the years, (and) ever finer and richer, the splendour of the two Maria's shone through.

My suggestion (two sentences):
"role. The delicate and rich radiance of the two quiet Marias grew increasingly stronger over the years."
Second example from a book:
A Traveler at Forty
By Theodore Dreiser
Published 1930

Example sentence:
With your radiance shining, you’ll write a love letter to yourself acknowledging the unique, beautiful woman that you are each and every day!
It grew dark shortly after that and the country was only favored by the rich radiance of the moon which made it more picturesque and romantic.
