Best Answer

In the Christian scriptures, the "Magdalene" is Mary Magdalene, one of the earliest disciples of Jesus Christ who is increasingly recognized as an Apostle. Although traditionally she has been identified as a reformed prostitute, there is no evidence in the text to support this assumption other than that she was a "sinner" who repented and became a saint. The term "magdalene" does not have a clear definition on which all scholars agree. Although it tends to be associated with a place, region or village that may have been the woman's home (similar to Paul of Tarsus or Jesus of Nazareth,) this has not been supported by textual or outside evidence. Some scholars suggest that it refers to "high place," or "the high one," or even, "Her Highness," leading to speculation that Mary Magdalene was held in high regard by the early Church.
