Who was Mary Magdalene?
Mary Magdalene was a woman who, according to the four canonical gospels, travelled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his
crucifixion and resurrection.
Mary Magdalene is regarded by believers as a historical figure, possibly from Magdala or some scholars suggest the term Magdalene (Tower) may have been a nickname given to her by Jesus. She is seen as a prominent follower of Jesus who was believed to have been healed by him, supported his ministry financially, and was present at his crucifixion and burial. She played a key role among his female disciples. Overall, there is limited information about her life.
<br><br>
Apocryphal early Christian writings often portray Mary Magdalene as a prominent, spiritually insightful figure favoured by Jesus, challenging traditional patriarchal norms. These texts have inspired modern re-interpretations of her role.
