Iconography and Symbolism
The Saint Mary Magdalene Icon (Greek: Ἁγία Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή) depicts the faithful disciple of Christ, honored as Equal to the Apostles. She followed Christ with devotion and remained with Him through His Passion, later becoming the first witness to His Resurrection.

In iconography, she is often shown holding a red egg, symbolizing the Resurrection and her proclamation of the risen Christ. According to tradition, she presented this egg to the Roman Emperor Tiberius while declaring, “Christ is risen,” and it miraculously turned red. She may also hold a vessel of myrrh, reflecting her role as one of the Myrrh-bearing women.

Her image expresses faith, courage, and unwavering love for Christ. The gold background represents the light of the Resurrection and the divine grace that transformed her life.

Feast Day
