Chr.) hat sie als solche gesehen, wobei er allerdings alle sinnlich-erotische Aspekte ausgeklammert und die liebe Maria Magdalenas rein geistig verstanden hat. Bereits der Kirchenvater Hippolyt (170-235 n.
Im Volksglauben blieb sie die Braut Christi, die das Geschehen am Kreuz und am Grab gefühlsmäßig verstanden und der Welt vermittelt hat. Laurel Howe (Denver, Colorado) wendet sich in ihrer Arbeit der ersten Zeugin von Christ Tod und Auferstehung zu - der Maria, die am leeren Grab ihre tiefe Liebe zum Auferstandenen bezeugt. The article examines the nature of this fascination as it reveals Mary’s archetypal role, which we could call the anima of the church. In 2016, Pope Frances officially named her the First Apostle, capping a long history in which Mary has fascinated church exegetes. This article traces the symbolism of Mary Magdalene from the early days of Christianity through the present. She is the human being in whom the god is realized and redeemed. In the writings of church fathers and in legend, Mary has occupied a critical role in the resurrection symbolism. Redeeming Mary Magdalene – The Feminine Side of the Death and Resurrection Archetype Two of her own dreams show how the figure of Mary Magdaleen encourages us to accept the paradox of personal and divine love. Laurel Howe gives beautiful expression to how the presence of this loving woman is an essential part of Christ's death and resurrection. It is, therefore all the more astonishing that in his decree "Apostolorum Apostoal" of 2016, today's Pope Francis placed Mary Madgalenr among the apostels, thereby recognizing fully both the sensual and the spiritual nature of the love between her and the crucified and risen Christ.
While there are many parallels between Mary Magdalene and the Near Eastern and ancient goddesses, the Christian concept, in contrast to them, clearly separates the physical from the spiritual aspects of eros "by condemning one and glorifying the other". The Church father Hippolytus of Rome (170-235 C.E.) saw her as such, thoug he excluded all her sensual-erotic aspects and understood Mary Magdalene's love to be of a purely spiritual nature. According to pope Gregor the Great (540-604 C.E.) Mary Magdalene was a prostitue, whereas in folklore she has always remained the Bride of Christ who understood on an emotional level what took place at the foot of the Cross and at Christ's tomb, and communicated this to the world. Laurel Howe (Denver, Colorado) looks at the very first wintess of Christ's death and reausrrection - Mary Magdalene - testifying to her deep love for the risen Christ at his empty tomb.
