Magdalene

St. Mary Magdalene, patron saint of repentant sinners, hairdressers, contemplative life - Feast day July 22

The Magdalene necklace features a tiny, abstract jar suspended on a delicate chain. For centuries, Mary Magdalene was depicted in art with a jar- a symbol of the woman in the Gospels (thought by many scholars to be Mary Magdalene) who anoints Christ’s feet with costly perfumed oil. In its quiet elegance, Magdalene honors Saint Mary Magdalene’s humility and her total dedication to Christ. “Mercy changes the heart, and for Mary Magdalene, mercy brought her into God’s dreams and gave new purpose to her journey.” -Pope Francis

Dimensions: 8 mm pendant on 15.5” chain

Materials: 14k gold vermeil

Saint Mary Magdalene has been a subject of speculation for centuries. While scholars disagree on her exact identity, she appears in all four Gospels at significant moments in Jesus’ life, death, and ministry. Mary Magdalene was healed by Christ, followed and supported his ministry, stayed by his side during the Crucifixion, and was the first of his followers to see him resurrected. Known as “the apostle to the apostles,” Mary Magdalene has long been recognized as a beautiful model of adoration and contemplation of the Lord.
