The Magdalene Review

Here is something worth checking out. In Jerusalem, on the Mt. of Olives, there is a Russian Orthadox church, complete with large golden onion domes, that is dedicated to Mary Magdalene. I’ve never had the good fortune to visit (someday!), and I’ve always wanted to get a better look at it. There are a few photos scattered around online, but nothing fantastic.

Until now, that is.

GoJerusalem.com has just put up a virtual tour of the Church of Mary Magdalene. There is an interior 360-degree view and a view just outside what look to be the main doors. The lovely garden outside makes me feel like I’m sitting on the hill overlooking the city – it’s a magnificent view! Inside (the chapel?), be sure to point the view upward to get a look at the four Mary Magdalene paintings on each wall – two Noli Me Tangere scenes, a crucifixion with MM weeping at the foot of the cross, and my favorite, a painting that appears to be of Mary Magdalene appearing before Pilate in the legend of the red egg.
