Originally from the city of Magdala, in the region of Galilee in Israel, Mary Magdalene would have been delivered from seven demons by Jesus, and would have become one of his disciples as a symbol of her eternal gratitude.
Central witness to the Passion of Christ events that preceded, accompanied and led to the death of Jesus of Nazareth , Mary Magdalene would have first witnessed the Resurrection of Christ three days after the crucifixion.
She is often portrayed as a prostitute, although there is no evidence for this. Luke said she was a sinner Gospel of Luke , but the term prostitute is not used in the Bible. Saint Luke also presents her as a rich woman who supports Jesus Christ with her money. As a strong figure of friendship and love, Holy Mary Magdalene embodies repentance and trust.
More recent theories even affirm that the spouses would have had children together, but this vision of the religion is not recognized by the Church.
The apostles who accompanied her and herself became the first evangelizers of Provence. After disembarking in the town today known as the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Mary Magdalene would have gone to preach not far from there, in Marseille, accompanied by Lazarus, one of the characters of the entourage of Jesus Christ.
