The Life of St. Mary Magdalene
Mary of Magdala was freed by Jesus and became one of His most loyal followers, traveling with Him and supporting His ministry. When most of the disciples had fled, she stood at the foot of the Cross.
On Easter morning she came to the tomb in tears and saw a man she took for the gardener. Then He said her name, "Mary," and she knew Him. Jesus sent her to tell the Apostles He was risen, and the Church calls her the Apostle to the Apostles. In 2016 Pope Francis raised her day to a feast.
“I have seen the Lord.”
John 20:18

Get to Know St. Mary Magdalene
The Apostle to the Apostles
Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Jesus, and He sent her to tell the Apostles the good news.
She Mistook Jesus for the Gardener
She mistook Jesus for the gardener until He called her by name. She answered, "Rabboni," meaning Teacher.
She Gave Us the Red Easter Egg
An Eastern tradition says she told the emperor Tiberius that Christ was risen, holding up an egg, and it turned red. It is one reason Easter eggs are dyed red in many places.
Her Jar Holds Spices for Jesus
Her jar holds the spices and ointment she brought to the tomb on Easter morning.
A Patron for New Beginnings
Converts, women, perfumers and all who are starting over claim her as their patron.
Celebrated Every July 22
