Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Maria Magdalene.
Maria Magdalene 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, Maria Magdalene 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 Mary Magdalene as Myrrh-bearer and Isapostole.
Apolytikion of Saint Maria Magdalene
When Christ God had been born for our sakes from the Virgin, thou faithfully didst follow him, keeping His statutes and heeding His sacred laws, O august Mary Magdalene. Hence, as we today observe thy holy remembrance, we receive the loosing of our sins and transgressions through thy holy prayers for us.
