e is mentioned four times in the Gospels as an in depth devotee of Jesus Christ. She was with Christ during the crucifixion and the first person to see Jesus after the resurrection. Because of to a sermon by Pope Gregory the Great in the sixth century, she developed a reputation if you are a prostitute and repentant sinner. However, there is no evidence the lady was, and it shows up there was confusion with other Marys mentioned in the Bible. In the Bahá’í religion and Far eastern Orthodox tradition, she actually is considered a great saint.
