Aged-Wooden Byzantine Icon of Saint Maria Magdalen, the Myrrh-Bearer.
Saint Maria Magdalen, the Myrrh-Bearer, 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 Maria 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 Maria Magdalen as Myrrh-bearer and Isapostole.
