The four Gospels designate her as the first witness of the Resurrection, who is responsible for warning the apostles. Christian tradition and iconography draw on these canonical and apocryphal texts to give several faces of Mary Magdalene, first the spiritual wife of Christ and the apostle of Revelation, then from the 4th century the sinner denied and mocked but repented, the Middle Ages seizing many legends to create a saint.
