The story behind Mary Magdalene
“Art is a compendium of nature formed by the imagination”
María Magdalena, a woman with an extremely controversial history, as I told you about my life story, from a very young age I was a highly spiritual person, number one because I felt a very deep connection to my inner self and number two due to religious beliefs with The ones I grew up with, given that my family is a strong believer, especially my grandmother, who in one way or another transferred her faith from her religious culture to my life and left in me a very large legacy, even inherent in the eyes of many. , one of the many stories that I heard in my childhood was that of the woman who is the protagonist of today's article, a woman that many judge but we really do not know for sure in the background and the context that really happened in those times, but obviously it is something that one understands when one grows up, because in childhood we do not understand many things in life.
I particularly heard very bad rumors about her, unfortunately many times they only see and exalt the bad things about people, evading, avoiding and ignoring their good deeds, in addition to this case I learned and reaffirm that many issue verdicts that unfortunately involve them in a negative way, when we do not know and we do not give ourselves the task of investigating further in order to unravel and get a little closer to the truth, in addition to the fact that many cross out the sins of others forgetting their own, also exalting themselves and establishing themselves as if we were perfect beings, when we are all human, we all sin and err on a daily basis but it is not a reason to expel us and much less that they are pointing us out when the only person who can do it is the supreme being and superior to us therefore I leave you a little of the history that from I think my opinion is a little closer to the real facts of this case;
There are very few data about this woman and the few that exist are thanks precisely to the Bible and the gospels of the evangelists, worth the redundancy, especially there is data about her in that of Luke, who outlined in his writings that this woman was one of the Few who followed Christ in those times also, in other websites it is reported that apparently he would have been born in the year 20 AD. her name clearly Maria and at the same time a derivation of Magdalena given that at that time he made special reference to the town on the shore of the Sea of Galilee where she lived and of course she had been born, that is where the origin of her name lies, On the other hand, the sacred writings also explain that the teacher met her because he had to expel around 7 demons that undoubtedly affected her physical and mental health.
On the other hand, the texts also tell us that she was a somewhat revolutionary woman because she was one of the first to follow Jesus, in addition to obviously motivating other women to have the same goal, which is why they also say that she was one of the few people and women to be present on the day of the crucifixion of Jesus, in addition to the fact that the next day they went to anoint the body with aromas along with other women and that is when the angel of the Lord appears to them to explain them and to serve as spokesmen to bring the message that Christ had risen and so on a few more appearances in the texts but unfortunately between approximately the 5th century it began to be rumored that this woman was a sinner who dedicated her life to the evil passions of life, this is where a conflict comes in This is greater because there is much speculation, many call them a bad woman, but there is also another rumor that is gaining a lot of strength.
The other theory that takes a lot out is that the texts also appeared another woman also called Maria, who was the sister of a villager who unfortunately was the one who was in bad steps, therefore she knelt before Jesus so that he would grant her forgiveness and obviously alleviate their guilt, which many confuse and think was Mary Magdalene but obviously no one owns the absolute truth, many years have passed and it is up to each person to define and evaluate the situation, although in the end they are facts that occurred in another time but are still alive because they are part of world culture and history, therefore we must also be skeptical and take neutral positions because we were not direct witnesses, we must remember that years and years have passed and they have been able to manipulate and cross the facts.
To conclude and finish, we are all human, we all make mistakes on a daily basis, nobody is perfect and in fact therein lies how imperfectly perfect we are, therefore we are not the one to judge or point fingers at anyone, but if we are free to express opinions and obviously believe in what that we best believe convenient, therefore I leave the story for you to evaluate and make your judgment, I only think that we all deserve a second chance.
