The wicked have waited for me to destroy me; I have understood thy testimonies, O Lord: I have seen an end to all perfection: Thy commandment is exceedingly broad. Ps. 118,1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way: who walk in the law of the Lord.

Introit, July 22nd, St. Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene Borne Aloft about 1469 Taddeo Crivelli (Italian, died about 1479, active about 1451 - 1479) Not currently on view

According to The Golden Legend , a popular medieval compilation of saints' lives, the former sinner repented of her ways and retired to the wilderness outside of Marseilles in France after Jesus' Crucifixion. While living as a hermit there, "every day at the seven canonical hours she was carried aloft by angels and with her bodily ears heard the glorious chants of the celestial hosts."

maybe it’s just my ex-catholics vibes, but the way evangelical christian circles treat mother mary and mary magdalene always rubbed me the wrong way.

their roles as disciples of christ are often so shamelessly downplayed that it’s laughable.

mary magdalene is never given any mention outside of “whore who closed her legs and repented” despite being one of jesus’ closest disciples and the first one to be notified that christ had risen. not to mention the belief that she was a prostitute before becoming a disciple is not biblically supported.

mary the mother gets the same treatment— albeit a further fall from grace given how highly regarded she is in catholicism. evangelicals remove every trait from mother mary except for her submission and willingness to get pregnant. they never talk of her anguish at the cross, or her hand in jesus’ ministry. they also shame the concept of veneration towards her. they teach that she was not born without sin, she was not assumed into heaven, and she cannot intercede on behalf of people who pray for her. she is essentially stripped of her title as “queen of heaven”. she’s just some woman who god picked to bear his child. there was nothing special about her and she receives no title or reward for her unimaginable struggle.

these women, and others like them, travelled alongside jesus and his apostles for their ministry journey. yet, you would never know according to evangelical teaching.

at the end of the day, catholicism is sexist as hell— but at least it gives mother mary and mary magdalene the honor and attention they deserve.

Wooden figure of saint Mary Magdalene as a penitent, invoked against plague, ulcers and for children slow or weak, possibly Spanish, 1601-1750

Dressed in a Hessian robe as a repentant sinner, with a skull and an alabaster jar at her feet, St Mary Magdalene is often represented in this pose, usually with a cross. The wooden statue is painted. Traditionally, among Catholics, Mary Magdalene has been invoked against plague, ulcers and to look after ill children. Mary is also the patron saint of repentant women. Many Catholics believe that saints can protect against ill health and may help cure specific diseases.

You're in the church bathroom with your pants around your ankles, lifting up your shirt to take a picture of your bra and panties for a stranger who's older than your dad on the internet, when you hear the door open briskly behind you. You spin around, hastily grasping at lots bits of clothing and trying to pull them into place, but you freeze with the force of years of habit as sister Mary Petra barks out "Stop!"

She eyes you critically, her gaze lingering on the lace of your bra, the skimpiness of your panties, the flush in your cheeks. She steps crisply to where you stand and slips the front been off your shirt over your head to rest behind your neck, exposing your bra and chest again; your pants are still bunched around your feet, and your nipples are so hard they're clearly visible through your bra. She nods, grabs your upper arm, and drags you to the door. You instinctively resist for a moment, but Sister Mary Petra is large and strong and you can walk with your shame or be dragged like a toddler, so you shuffle along with her and try not to leave your pants behind.

You start to panic as she pulls you through the door into the nave, marching you up the center aisle as the echoes of the final words of the second reading fade. "Father," your escort calls out, "I found this harlot flaunting her body whorishly in the washroom. I have brought her to stand before God and face the consequences of her desecration."

The priest beckons you forth. The assembled congregation stare as the Sister compels you the rest of the way to the altar. "Come, now, Sister," he says gently. "The Lord tells us not to judge, and even the whores were welcome in His company. Let us show her the path of repentance."

He gestures broadly at the altar. Sister Mary Petra's eyes cloud as she pushes you against it, and you scramble on top of it to avoid being bodily lifted. Father Parks joins you there, smoothing your hair with his left hand and resting his right and on your belly. You feel your crotch dampen at his touch, and the roaring of blood in your ears doesn't quite drown out the shame.

He begins preaching about Mary Magdalene, and about sinners and casting stones, but the words barely register as his fingers stroke the waistband of your underwear, and the underwire of your bra, and then the inside of your thigh. You gasp sharply and cease to hear anything as he slips his fingers inside your panties and begins deftly massaging your clit.

He has you on the edge in seconds, but his voice seems to drone on for hours as he keeps you there. Eventually, he leans close over your face and whispers, "are you ready to repent, little whore?"

You can't help it. You convulse ecstatically and scream "Oh, God yes! Please, yes, yes!" You know you've left a huge puddle on the altar, but you're too drained to care, even as Pilate symbolically washes his hands in you, even as the congregation lines up to drink the wine that flows from between your legs.

What if,,,,, Lucifer in a baroque style painting.

I referenced the painting ‘The repentant St Mary Magdalene’ by Domenico Fetti, though I painted it digitally.

This is the image for further reference

Guido Cagnacci (Italian, 1601–1663), The Repentant Magdalene, detail, circa 1660.

Norton Simon Museum.

The event depicted in the elegant space of this canvas is an episode from the life of Mary Magdalene, the courtesan who renounced her sinful ways and converted to Christianity, following her encounter with Christ in the temple. Mary is shown on the floor, having discarded her luxurious clothes and jewels; her face is reddened from remorse and her body barely covered by a white sheet. Her sister Martha sits on a cushion, calming her, while behind them two servants are leaving the room after having witnessed their mistress’s emotional scene. Cagnacci has also included two allegorical figures to the left. A standing angel banishes a levitating devil, complete with horns and a tail. He lurches toward the window as he flees the room. The combatant figures represent Virtue and Vice as they battle for Mary’s soul at the moment she chooses to embrace her virtuous new Christian life. (x)

A little Manva Warhelm moodboard so I can clean up my blog...

Her face claim is Fanny Cornforth, famous for posing for the beautiful Bocca Baciata, but Rosetti was further inspired by, and indeed Manva is further inspired by, reimaginings of religious iconography (I am a complete art history novice so I'm not going to pretend to know much more than the surface level on this!)

There are SO many Mary Magdalen depictions (particularly the penitent Mary praying for forgiveness, which came into fashion around a time of protestant reform to remind people of the importance of Catholic repentance of sin, hehehe) that fit her aesthetic. Here are a handful of my favourites.

Clockwise from left: The Penitent Magdalen Carlo Cignani (c1685), Saint Magdalene by Guido Reni (c1602, honestly ALL of Reni's depictions are very her, I just love the soft face here), Penitent Magdalene, Bartolome Esteban Murillo (c1650), and Penitent Magdalene by the GOAT Artemesia Gentileschi (c1615)
