Profile

According to the gospels Mark and John, Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Jesus after he rose from the dead. All four canonical Gospels attest that she witnessed Jesus' crucifixion and burial. The 21st century has seen a restoration of Mary Magdalene as a patron of women's ministry. This is in direct opposition to other notions that she was a repentant prostitute.
