I think you mean Mary Magdalene. You can read about her in the Gospels Mark 15: 40, Luke 8:2 - John 20: 1,16,17. There is very little recorded about her - it is thought that Jesus may have driven demons from her. Luke tells us that her home town was Magdala - hence the name (Mary of Magdala). She is not to be confused with the sinful woman in chapter 7 of Luke who was a prostitute. Mary was thought to be the first person to go to the tomb where Jesus had been laid after the crucifixion. She is recorded as appearing at the crucifixion and resurrection in all four gospels which is strong evidence for her existence and love for Jesus. It is clear that the Gospel writers thought she was a significant person in Jesus's life. But there is no other discourse about her in the Bible other than that mentioned above. It has been suggested that Mary Magdalene was married to Jesus, or was his partner/lover. There is no evidence to support this. Another theory is that Mary was Jesus's sister. The truth is we do not know. We do know that all the disciples of Jesus were male and asked to give up everything and follow him - that includes spouses or partners. Maybe Mary was Jesus's girlfriend and although he could not have a normal courtship with her he still loved her. In turn Mary never lost her love for him and was there to support him when it mattered most. Hope that helps.

I do not know, but I will tell you what I do know. Mary was a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth the Christ. Jesus loved Mary in particular, I beleive it was for her faith as well as her honesty and her love. I do believe it to be true she was the one to wash the feet of Jesus and dry them with her hair.
This is a very good question. There is a book called The Nag Hamaddi in English this is where I have found some of my information as well as a book called the Magdela Gospel work of fiction based on fact.

The true part of the story is that she was Mary of Bethany, Wife to Yeshua Ben Josiah, who bore him 3 children; a daughter named Tamar and two sons named Yeshua and Josiah. She annointed the Messiah with oil of spikenard as was the tradition for all incoming kings of the Hebrew people. She was spirited out of Jerusalem at the outset of the Jewish Revolt of AD66 by Yeshua's Brother Yehuda, known as James the Just or also as Joseph of Arimethia, to the South of France where they settled in the Langedoc region and produced the Morovingian line of French Monarchs that ended with Dagobert II. She was not a fallen woman and she was not a harlot and she was not an adulteress. That's Roman propaganda spread by two notorious woman-hating dim bulbs known a Simon (St. Peter) and Saul of Tarsus( A/K/A St. Paul). The Age of Pieces is over and we're in the Age of Aquarius so the Fishermen have given way to the Bearers of Knowledge and the truth is coming out. Finally, the stranglehold that the Roman Church has had on the world is coming to an end.

Mary Magdalene was a wealthy woman who was possessed by demons, which Jesus cast out. She was an Apostle of sorts, but not His lover or wife. She was a follower.
Jesus is the only sinless man to ever walk this earth. Even on the cross He never retaliated nor used foul language.
Jesus loved Mary- but it was in the pure love that He loves us all.

Keep in mind that hollywood will distort anything at all to make a buck- The life of our Lord should not be used to do this- but maybe it will make people ask more questions thus leading up to the truth- Jesus is Lord of all.

I have heard that Mary Magdelene was a prostitute possessed with 7 different spirits or demons, which our Lord Christ Jesus cast out of her, therefore she loved our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus. She only recognized Him after His resurrection because of His voice. This goes with Christ saying "And my sheep will recognize my voice."

The "true story" as you say will come from the bible. All the bible says about Mary Magdalene is that she is a woman out of whom Jesus cast seven devils. That's about it.

Little is really known about her except that she was a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ, and was honored to be the first to see Him after His Resurrection. Most of what is said about her beyond this is myth.
