On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, in the first century Palestine, a spirit possessed a woman, Mary of Magdala—a generous and learned woman of business. Mary drew together a community of outcasts, rescued from lives of poverty and humiliation.

Though she was a devout Jew, it was natural for Mary to show compassion to all those who were looked upon as "other"—gentile, prostitute, and leper.

Little is known for certain about what happened to each of them following the Resurrection, yet ancient traditions abound. What were their final moments like in this life?
