According to Gospel tradition, Mary Magdalene was a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth (c. 6–4 BCE—c. 30 CE) from the town of Magdala in Galilee. She was neither Jesus’ wife nor a prostitute but, alongside other women, supported Jesus materially and accompanied him for part of his ministry. She also became one of the first witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus.
