Mary Magdalene — 'Apostle to the Apostles' — was healed by Jesus when He cast out seven demons, and she followed Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. While most male disciples fled the Crucifixion, she stood at the foot of the Cross, and on Easter morning the Risen Christ called her by name and sent her to tell the others He had risen.
