Mary Magdalene - HER NAME MAY MEAN
“Bitterness”
| HER CHARACTER: | Though mistakenly characterized as a prostitute in many popular writings, the Bible says only that Mary was possessed by seven demons.

| HER SORROW: | To watch Jesus’ agony at Calvary. |
| HER JOY: | To have been the first witness to Jesus’ resurrection. |
| KEY SCRIPTURES: | Matthew 27:56, 61; 28:1; Mark 15:40, 47; 16:1 – 19; Luke 8:2; 24:10; John 19:25; 20:1 – 18 |
