Description: ST. MARY MAGDALENE / RISEN CHRIST APPEARS TO MARY MAGDALENE Medal (H-111) Solid sterling silver with antique finish Cast in New Mexico, USA, from mid 19th century French original 13/16 x 11/16 inches 3.5 grams All saints medals now come with a ring (not pictured) so as to be worn St. Mary Magdalene was a follower of Jesus, present at Jesus’ two most important moments: the crucifixion and the resurrection. A singular figure of bravery and courage, she is specifically named in the Gospels as the first to testify to the resurrection of Jesus. St. Augustine called her the “Apostles to the Apostles.” Most modern scholars agree that characterizations of Mary Magdalene in Western Christianity as a repentant prostitute are unfounded. (Conflation with stories of Mary of Bethany and Mary of Egypt coupled with the importance of penitence in later medieval theology led to the creation of a composite Magdalene.) Today, she is enjoying a renaissance as an important early Christian Leader. In art she is depicted holding a container of ointment (as the unnamed sinner who anoints Jesus’s feet in the Gospel of Luke) or embracing the feet of the crucified Christ on Mt. Calvary. She is patron of Italy, penitent sinners, converts, and women. Her feast day is July 22nd. SAINTS MEDALS Saints medals focus the prayers of the faithful. Cast in sterling silver and yellow bronze from antique historical originals, our curated collection of over 50 medals includes the most beloved saints and Madonnas.
