Mary Magdalene

A devoted follower of Jesus, delivered of demons, who was the first witness of the resurrection.

Jesus freed Mary Magdalene from seven demons, and she followed and supported him. She stood by the cross when most had fled.

Early on Easter morning she came to the tomb, met the risen Jesus, and was sent to tell the disciples—the first to announce the resurrection.
