Her body is said to have been placed in St. Maximin Oratory in Villa Lata until A.D. 745, when she was moved to protect her relics from the Saracens. Later, when the Dominicans built a convent in La Sainte-Baume, the shrine was found intact, with an inscription indicating why the relics were hidden. This church was destroyed during the French Revolution, but was later restored, and the head of Mary Magdalen is said to be there to this day.

How did Mary Magdalene become a saint?

The Church has to follow a process which involves looking at the person's life, actions, reactions to the events of life, what others wrote and said about the person and what the person wrote or said - the result of a great amount of historical research. The Church also looks at continuing devotion - after the person died, was the memory kept alive in the faith of the people?Following the panel of Cardinals and medical experts positive outcome of the first miracle under examination and subsequent recommendation to the Pope, Mary MacKillop was beatified on 19 January 1995 thus becoming Australia's first saint.When the second miracle that is being examined in Rome has been recognised, Mary will become a saint for the universal Church and her feast day will be included in the universal calendar and liturgy and prayers may be universally used.Mary became a saint by opening a school for all children and so that more people could be educated.

Mary queen of Scots myths?

Nothing new under the sun, Comrade. One can imagine several myths- a Lady In waiting substituted for Her Majesty and Mary somehow escaped and the wrong woman was executed. ( I have not seen this in print but it seems like the type of Urban Myth). more probable one of Mary"s two ladies in waiting impulsively grabbed the lifeless Queen"s head and kept it as a priceless relic. for some reason it did not decompose- may have been mummifed or something ( Lady Elilzabeth Kennedy was the Lady involved) She kept Mary"s head preserved in her quarters ( what a weird piece of decor_ when the lady In waiting died, Mary"s head was propped up in her hands in the casket. there is no way to verify or negate these rumors or legends.The Romanov girls do not corner the market on myth and possibly true, legends.
