Answer 2

Mary Magdaline, the poor woman whose name has forever become associated with being a prostitute due to botched mis-translations and deliberate obfuscation.

Her real name was 'Migdala' with an 'i' which meant 'of the tower' and referred to an important trading community along the shores of Galilee which had a tower. Her name was NOT 'Magdala' with an 'a' which was a local red-light district.

Nor did Jesus 'cast out seven sins.' The correct modern translation should read 'Jesus cast out seven sicknesses.' In other words, Jesus healed her, the same as everybody else he helped, not travelled down to the red-light district in town to find some random prostitute and perform an exorcism on her. She was likely the daughter of an important person who hosted Jesus's ministry when he travelled there. As hostess, attending to Jesus's comfort (washing the feet of a weary traveller who'd travel a long distance on foot) would have been customary.

Mary of the Tower became a 'tower' in Jesus's early ministry. One who became inconveniently outspoken after Jesus died. The church re-wrote history to reduce her importance. She may or may not have been Jesus's wife as some believe, but she was most certainly -no- prostitute.
