Saint Mary Magdalene Feast Day - 22 July

Quoted from Catholic Daily Readings [1]:

Saint Mary Magdalene was also known as Apostle to the Apostles or Mary of Magdala. She was the woman who is outlined in the four Gospels as the one who witnessed the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus and helped Jesus and His Apostles with resources as they were traveling around preaching.

Quoted from Catholic.org [2]:

Mary Magdalene has long been regarded as a prostitute or sexually immoral in western Christianity, but this is not supported in the scriptures. It is believed she was a Jewish woman who lived among Gentiles, living as they did.

The Gospels agree that Mary was originally a great sinner. Jesus cast seven demons out of her when he met her. After this, she told several women she associated with and these women also became followers.

 

Quoted from Wikipedia [3]:

It is widely accepted among secular historians that, like Jesus, Mary Magdalene was a real historical figure.
