Who was Mary Magdaline?

Mary Magdaline was the sister of Martha and Lazarus and was living in Bethany. She is thought to have lived originally in the town off Magda near the Sea of Galilee. She is mentioned in scripture as having been a great sinner but no proof that she was ever a prostitute. Our Lord frequently visited tha family when he was in the area of Bethany. Mary was a close friend of Our Lord and frequently traveled with him during his ministry. She was one of the three Marys present at the crucifixion and the first to see our Lord after the Resurrection.
