who sings "only have eyes for you" in the...

Mary Magdalene is mentioned in the Gospels as being among the women of Galilee who followed Jesus and His disciples, and who was present at His Crucifixion and Burial, and who went to the tomb on Easter Sunday to annoint His body. She was the first to see the Risen Lord, and to announce His Resurrection to the apostles. Accordingly, she is referred to in early Christian writings as "the apostle to the apostles."

Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany (sister of Martha and Lazarus), and the unnamed penitent woman who annointed Jesus's feet (Luke 7:36-48) are sometimes supposed to be the same woman. From this, plus the statement that Jesus had cast seven demons out of her (Luke 8:2), has risen the tradition that she had been a prostitute before she met Jesus.

Because of the assumption that Mary Magdalene had been a spectacular sinner, and also perhaps because she is described as weeping at the tomb of Jesus on the Resurrection morning, she is often portrayed in art as weeping, or with eyes red from having wept. From this appearance we derive the English word "maudlin", meaning "effusively or tearfully sentimental." There is a Magdalen College at Oxford, and a Magdalene College at Cambridge (different spelling), both pronounced "Maudlin."



lol there... have fun.

Mary Magdalene - Jesus' only female Apostle. She was a prostitute, Jesus drove the SEVEN DEMONS OF MARY out of her. Of those seven demons, I don't remember any, but they had to do with sex, greed, etc. After Jesus drove these demons out of her, she became one of His Disciples. She was there through His arrest by that damn High Priest, His Crucifixion (she even yelled at Simon Peter for denying Christ) AND, after Jesus rose from the dead on the 3rd day, He appeared to her, not Simon Peter (whom I hate; which is nice), not John (His favorite) - No, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene.

 After Jesus ascended into Heaven, Mary left for some place in France, and lived in the woods and didn't wear clothes or cut her hair. After she died, a Cathedral in France took her corpse where it is still said to be, today.
