Happy Easter! On Easter, the Church offers us two Gospels. Mark’s account (16:1-7) of the encounter of Mary Magdalene and the other women with the angel at Christ’s tomb is read at the Easter Vigil.
She was there when Jesus was crucified, yet no one knows much about her. That might be why scholars just can’t quit chasing down the truth about Mary Magdalene. The Penitent Magdalene by Guido Reni.
