Hand painted icon of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The first harbinger of the Resurrection of Jesus - Mary Magdalene. She is credited with the first cry "Christ is risen!" She was called Magdalene because she was from the village of Magdala near the Lake of Gennesaret. She is one of those devoted women who, together with the Holy Mother of God and the apostles, accompanied Jesus Christ during his three-year preaching in the lands of Palestine. The apostles helped communicate with the people who listened to the Savior's preaching about eternal life in the kingdom of God, and the women took care of the household needs of the whole group around him. Sealed on the icon in front of me is the exact moment Mary Magdalene turns to faith in the face of Jesus.
