About St Mary Magdalene:

• The great and holy myrrh-bearer Saint Mary Magdalene, Equal of the Apostles, was a disciple of Jesus named Mary from Magdala, a town in Galilee. She is known in some traditions as the Apostle to the Apostles because she was the first to see the Risen Lord and the one who announced the resurrection of Christ to the Eleven.
• Feast Days:
  • July 22
  • Sunday of Myrrh-bearing Women
• According to tradition, during a dinner with the emperor Tiberius Caesar, Saint Mary Magdalene was speaking about Christ's Resurrection. Caesar scoffed at her, saying that a man could rise from the dead no more than the egg in her hand could turn red. Immediately, the egg turned red. Because of this, icons of Saint Mary Magdalene sometimes depict her holding a red egg. Also, this is believed to be an explanation for dyeing eggs red at Pascha.
