St. Mary Magdalene, the Myrrh bearer icon (2) Mounted on wood Sizes:4 X 6Orthodox icon of Mary Magdalen, Magdalene, The Myrrh bearer and Equal to Apostles. Commemorated July 22. This Orthodox icon depicts the Holy Myrrh Bearer Equal of the Apostles Mary Magdalene. On the banks of Lake Genesareth (Galilee), between the cities of Capharnum and Tiberias, was the small city of Magdala, the remains of which have survived to our day. Now only the small village of Mejhdel stands on the site. A woman whose name has entered forever

and no one has given me encouragement and hope that I should ever behold her

who by turns alternately finished a prayer

and has likewise been renowned as a wonderworker since his repose in 1837

Salome the Myrrh bearer

healing him of a grave malady

that you have restored my spirit

She was accepted and put under the charge of an elder

the top of the church collapsed

selected her

saying to him

spark a great love in Christians for a life of virginity and total devotion to the Lord

As a work of art
