    This video explores the life and legacy of Mary Magdalene, a significant yet often misunderstood figure in Christian history. Originating from biblical texts, Mary Magdalene was a wealthy, loyal disciple who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. The script delves into how her reputation was tarnished over centuries, notably by Pope Gregory I, who labeled her a sinful prostitute. The narrative also uncovers Mary Magdalene's leadership role and significant influence through the rediscovery of the Gospel of Mary in 1896. The discussion highlights the enduring impact of patriarchal narratives and the importance of revisiting historical figures to uncover their true contributions.
