Mary Magdalene - Sheilah R Craft - Bog

This Mystery Play relays the message which the Bible, and each of the other sources, carry: that Mary Magdalene was a converted sinner; that she was a woman in (spiritual) love with her Lord; that she was a woman who understood, more so than did the disciples, that Jesus was indeed the Messiah and what that truly meant; and that she remembered and understood His words to them concerning the Resurrection. Therefore, she was rewarded by being the first person to be visited by the risen Christ. The disciples, when told of her encounter, largely doubt her claims; only when Christ appears to them, and they see Him for themselves, do they believe in the Resurrection. It is then, too, that they realize that Mary Magdalene had, indeed, been correct.
