Significance of Mary Magdalene

Through out history, there has always been the mystery of Mary Magdalene. In the Bible, Mary is seen as a prostitute and unworthy of the graces of God. Although she is cast out, it is she that Christ reveals himself to when he is resurrected, in the bible he states, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God" John 20:17 (The Bible).


There has been recent theories that Mary Magdalene was important to Christ because she was his wife and barer of his children. The book, the Di Vinci Code, helped to spun on the belief that this was true. Although there is no real evidence to suggest it, the Significant of Mary Magdalene never changes. She was a faithful woman who love Christ with all he hearts and therefore, Christ first appeared to her.
