The Magdalene
Sean Murray McGroarty [McGroarty, Sean Murray]Mary of Magdala appears sparingly yet spectacularly in Scripture. Little is written of her before the Crucifixion; she is one of three to remain with Jesus as he died; and Jesus appears to her first afterwards, before any of his other followers. Despite the scarcity of detail in the Gospels, her legend has transformed over the course of two thousand years from that of a faithful disciple to a repentant sinner to a figure of dauntless power. The Magdalene imagines the background of this transcendent woman in a way that foreshadows the variety of ways that she commands Christian imagination and tradition.
