The Woman Called Magdalene

Mary Magdalene Fallen Woman? Or victim of cruel slander? She is a friend to Jesus before he begins his public outreach. She is among the first to receive his healing touch after his baptism. She becomes one of the first people to support his ministry. Her family-especially her ambitious brother Domenicus-opposes her devotion to Jesus, while mounting political pressure makes it increasingly dangerous to remain faithful to the cause. Yet, three days after the Master’s cruel death, the woman called Magdalene is the first person Jesus speaks to-the first whom the risen Savior identifies himself-on Resurrection morning.
