Next to Jesus’ mother, Mary, no woman had a greater influence on Jesus than Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene, called the “Apostle of the Apostles,” was a prominent follower who provided financial support for the ministry of the Son of God and is known to have attended his crucifixion and burial along with being one of the first to witness his resurrection.
