Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Mary Magdalen, the Myrrh-Bearer.
Saint Mary Magdalen came from Magdala in Galilee and met Jesus Christ when He healed her of the demons that were tormenting her.
To show her faith and devotion, Saint Mary Magdalen became one of the female followers of Jesus Christ and discipled beside him until His Crucifixion. Before the Resurrection of the Lord, she was the first to arrive at the tomb with perfumes.
Our Church honors Saint Mary Magdalen as Myrrh-bearer and Isapostole.
