The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, observed on July 22nd, honors the first witness to the Resurrection. Mary Magdalene, once healed by Jesus, became a devoted follower and was the first to proclaim the risen Christ—earning her the title “apostle to the apostles.” Her feast day celebrates themes of redemption, faithful discipleship, and the transformative power of grace. She stands as a powerful example of how Christ restores dignity and calls individuals—regardless of past—into bold witness and new life.
Fra Angelico’s “Noli Me Tangere“ (“Touch Me Not”) is a significant fresco from 1440-42, located in the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy, depicting the post-resurrection encounter between Jesus and Mary Magdalene in a lush garden setting, highlighting themes of spiritual revelation, the nascent Resurrection, and the promise of new life through Christ's presence, recognizable by the red flowers often interpreted as the stigmata and symbolizing the earth redeemed by His sacrifice.
