Saint Mary Magdalene

$1.50

Saint Mary Magdalene (also known as Mary of Magdala) is one of the most important women in the New Testament and one of the most beloved saints in Christianity.

Who She Was

  • She came from the town of Magdala on the Sea of Galilee.

  • Jesus cast seven demons out of her (Luke 8:2).

  • She became one of Jesus’ most faithful followers and helped support His ministry financially.

  • She stood at the foot of the Cross with the Virgin Mary and St. John when almost all the male disciples had fled.

  • She was the first person to see the risen Jesus on Easter morning and the first to announce the Resurrection to the Apostles (John 20:1–18). For this reason, she is traditionally called “Apostle to the Apostles.”

Early legends sometimes confused her with other women in the Gospels (such as the sinful woman who anointed Jesus’ feet), but modern scholarship and the Church distinguish her as a devoted disciple healed by Jesus.

Her feast day is July 22.
