Mary Magdalene and the Apostles: An Artistic Journey | Parable

Published 2022-06-10
Waldemar Januszczak goes on a quest for the real Mary Magdalene, tracing her mysterious life through art. She has become a central part of the origins of Christianity, yet her story remains enshrouded in myth. She only appears in the gospels twelve times, yet her life has been canonised in art across the centuries. From Caravaggio to Cezanne, Rubens to Rembrandt, Titian to van Gogh, join us on this remarkable journey into one of the world's greatest icons.

  • Mary Magdalene is mentioned 11 times, in 11 verses, 7 chapters in 4 books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
  • Forgive the people behind this video for they know not what they do. All this does is taint her even more with untruths of her life. I wonder what the true intent was? 🙏🏻✨

    The reason why there are so many ‘marys’ in the bible is because ‘Mary’ was a title and it denotes someone who was given to the temple at an early age to be raised as an attendant to the Priests. This was a common practice among the people and they were expected to remain virgins into adulthood although they were allowed to marry later in life. This is why Mary was a virgin and unmarried, also the portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute is incorrect, Mary Magdalene was simply a temple attendant who had broken her vow of chastity and was therefore kicked out of the temple and given a stigma of being ‘loose’ i guess you could say.

    Can’t help but notice tones insincerity and mockery in his narrations. Felt very odd.

    Jesus saves! Thank you Jesus I’m still trusting in you even though I’m struggling putting groceries in the refrigerator, and paying bills. I lost my job because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. My husband passed away three years ago, Im all alone. I’m a single mother. Both of my sons are autistic and non verbal. Every month is a struggle, a battle to not end up on the streets. I’m so depressed and embarrassed by my situation. I post my story all over to spread awareness of what mandates are doing, not just to myself but to many other families. I’ve been put down and mocked because of my circumstances it truly hurts me. BUT even after all these things. I STILL HAVE FAITH GOD WILL PROVIDE. He has sent strangers to help me. I’m forever grateful! EVEN as I face homelessness seemly every month with two young children. I have faith our Heavenly Father will provide. Thank you Jesus.
  • Former world champion boxer George Forman named 11 of his 12 kids George. Answering why so many Mary's in 1 family

  • Jason- his favorite movie was "loan survivor" we watched it all the time- that movie was about me. I hoped that he would put that together- he never did. We went to see the movie American Sniper on day one- Jason said to me "you ever the read the book"? I said "No". Jason Said "Did you know that Chris had an affair on Taya". I said "who was he with"? Jason said "some whore".. Chris and I never had any affair, he gaurded me all of the time, I don't know if their was another female, but Chris spent tons of time guarding me.

    Beautifully narrated. Thanks, Simcha. Love your style and your knowledge.

    9 times out of 10, Mary Magdalene was wed to former Roman soldier, Lucius Catanius (aka Lucius of Cyrene); their matrimonial vows were performed by Joseph of Arimathea in the predawn hours of the day of Pentecost. Therefore, Jesus would forever remain a bachelor even after resurrection. Thus, Mary of Bethany (a sister of Lazarus) together with a handful of Christian followers were the ones put in a boat, and cast out to sea, only to find themselves in southern France in the process.

    Merovingian kings were Scythian descendants of Mary Magdalene who founded "Priory of Sion".
  • All angels give so much during there 1 million year degree. They have 3 hours during the day- spousal or goddess service- when they dont give back. Vesper and Sampson, she is not forced but it did not even cross my mind that she would say no, because she needs the support, and he has been waiting for her for almost a billion years.

    Beautifully done, beautifully filmed! so nice to watch all the art. The image of Mary Magdalene kneeling in that strange position with her chin to her chest, is the way of praying of the hesycasts, the fathers and mothers of the desert, the first christians who were Egyptian and Nubian, black africans, by the way. They would go on a mantra for hours an hours chin to their chest, repeating the "heart prayer"...

    She is us, The book if Hosiah said that God compairs all of us to prositutes chasing idols...
  • @chessmambo
    Actually (26 minutes in) it's just the home of an unnamed Pharisee (Luke 7: 36) not Simon. The other Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus, also anointed Jesus feet at the house of Simon the leper. Matthew 26: 6-13. The Luke "sinner" anointed Jesus with oil,as wee, in another region of Israel and a year apart from each other . Frustrating when the details are ignored but an awesome video nonetheless! LOve Waldemar!

    REVELATION 14:4These are the ones who did not ·do sinful things [defile themselves] with women, because they ·kept themselves pure [L are virgins]. They follow the Lamb every place he goes MATTHEW 22:30 For in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven [who do not marry nor produce children 1 John 3:5You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.---Holy GOD will not ressurect him if he failed.and will be barred to enter heaven
