Mary Magdalene (c. 1524) by Andrea Solari, showing her as a Myrrhbearer
.
(‘andrea solari’ was a man)
.
(Hebrew: מרים המגדלית, original Greek: Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή), or Mary of Magdala and sometimes the Magdalene
.
*”mary magdalene” is a figure in ‘christianity’ who, according to the bible, traveled with ‘jesus’ as 1 of his followers*
.
(she is said to have witnessed Jesus’ ‘crucifixion’ and ‘resurrection’)
(within the 4 Gospels she is named at least 12 times, more than most of the ‘apostles’)
(the “Gospel of Luke” says 7 demons had gone out of her, and the longer ending of ‘Mark’ says ‘Jesus’ had cast 7 demons out of her)
(she is most prominent in the narrative of the crucifixion of ‘Jesus’, at which she was present)
(she was also present 2 days later, immediately following the ‘sabbath’, when, according to all 4 canonical ‘Gospels’, she was, either alone or as a member of a group of women, the first to testify to the resurrection of ‘Jesus’)
(“John 20” and “Mark 16:9″ specifically name her as the first person to see Jesus after his ‘resurrection’)
(ideas that go beyond the gospel presentation of ‘Mary Magdalene’ as a prominent representative of the women who followed ‘Jesus’ have been put forward over the centuries)
(‘Mary Magdalene’ is considered to be a ‘saint’ by the ‘Catholic’, ‘Eastern Orthodox’, ‘Anglican’, and ‘Lutheran’ churches—with a feast day of ‘July 22’)
(other ‘Protestant’ churches honor her as a “heroine of the faith”)
(the “Eastern Orthodox” churches also commemorate her on the ‘Sunday of the Myrrhbearers”, the ‘Orthodox’ equivalent of one of the “Western Three Marys” traditions)
.
*during the ‘middle ages’, ‘mary magdalene’ was regarded in ‘western christianity’ as a ‘repentant prostitute’ or ‘promiscuous woman’, accusations not found in any of the 4 ‘canonical gospels’*
