The Bible records Mary Mardalene washing Jesus' FEET with her tears and wiping them with her hair. She also poured perfume on his feet. This happened when she first came into contact with him - ages before his crucifixion. There is no record in the Bible of ANYBODY wiping Jesus' brow or giving him cold water on the way to his crucifixion if that's what you mean...

Mary Magdalene is said to have washed Jesus' feet as an act of deep reverence and humility, possibly as a way to demonstrate her love and devotion to him. It was a symbolic gesture of respect and servitude.

Did St. Mary Magdalene wipe the feet of Jesus?

It is not known who the woman was in Luke 7:37-50, just that she was "a woman... who was a sinner" ie prostitute.Luk 7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,Luk 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.Luk 7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.Luk 7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.Luk 7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.Luk 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?Luk 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.Luk 7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.Luk 7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.Luk 7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.Luk 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.Luk 7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.Luk 7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?Luk 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.It is not Mary (the sister of Martha and Lazarus) because although it is similar to the events in Matthew 26:6-13 where Mary (the sister of Martha and Lazarus) annointed Jesus, that was in Bethany and the " woman... who was a sinner" in Luke 7 was in Galilee. It is very unlikely that it was Mary Magdalene either because she was mentioned by name only three verses later in Luke 8:3 and Luke, the careful historian, doesn't add anything to identify or explain her such as "Mary Magdalene, who washed Jesus feet in Simon's house"; also, although she had demons cast out of her there is no evidence Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.
