WHAT HAPPENED TO MARY MAGDALENE AFTER THE RESURRECTION?
Mary Magdalene’s identity is highlighted in all four Gospels as a female image and voice. Scholars are trying to find proof to identify the “Cult of Mary Magdalene”, which arose in Provence France during the 11th century. They seek evidence for Mary and her companions having fled persecution in Jerusalem. They crossed the Mediterranean in a boat, and landing near Arles in the South of France, named Saintes Marie de la Mer. It is said she retired to the Holy Cave, “Sainte-Baume” on a hill in the Marseilles region. There she converted the residents of Provence to Christianity.
