Santa Maria Maddalena
Santa Maria Maddalena, born in Magdala and perhaps died in Ephesus in the first century, is a character from the New Testament.
Historical sources are scarce about his life, he is briefly described only in the New Testament as a disciple of Jesus.
The name Maddalena derives from Magdala, his native town, located on the western shore of Lake Tiberias.
The stories of the four gospels trace the figure through a few verses, enough to make the reader understand how much this woman was one of the disciples closest to Jesus.
Mary Magdalene, among the few women present at the crucifixion, was the first eyewitness to the resurrection.
