MARY

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 814 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARY , known as MARY MAGDALENE, a woman mentioned in the Gospels, first in
Luke
  viii. 2, as one of a
company
  who " healed of evil spirits and infirmities ... ministered unto them (Jesus and the apostles) of their substance." It is said that seven demons were cast out of her, but this need not imply simply one occasion. Her name implies that she came from
Magdala
  (el-Mejdel, 3 M. N.W. from Tiberias: in Matt. xv. 39 the right
reading
  is not
Magdala
  but Magadan). She went with Jesus on the last journey to Jerusalem, witnessed the Crucifixion, followed to the burial, and returned to prepare spices. John xx. gives an
account
  of her finding the
tomb
  empty and of her interview with the risen Jesus. Mary of Magdala has been confounded (I) with the unnamed fallen woman who in Simon's
house
  anointed Christ's feet (
Luke
  vii. 37); (2) with Mary of Bethany,
sister
  of Lazarus and Martha.
