Mary Magdalene — Art Icons please, like or reblog if you use/save ♡

-had seven demons cast out of her by Jesus, soon became a devoted follower and a financial supporter of him and the apostles

-considered “the apostle to the apostles”

-present at the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, was the first person to see him resurrected, was likely the one to anoint his feet while he was alive and anoint him after he died

-had her own book of the Bible that isn’t in modern texts today, not complete because of deterioration

-often forgotten or even slandered because she was a woman

-was friends with Jesus! Some people -notably gnostics- believe he shared the ultimate truth with her

-Peter was jealous of her because she was one of Jesus’s favorites while also being a woman (I’m losing track of how many times misogyny affected her legacy)

-many people use the myth of her being a former prostitute to discredit her. This is unlikely but possible, and I don’t think it should be used to devalue her

-some people also think that she and Jesus were married. They were close but there is no evidence to back this up and I don’t believe it. Men are allowed to be friends with women without being in relationships!

-overall just very cool and important 👍
