Mary Magdalene

  General Notes:

A Mary or Miriam was a ministerial title given to a member of a Spiritual Order or sect such as Therepeutae. Mary was 27 when she first married Yeshua in 30 A.D. Because of the decrees of Priesthood, periods of marital separation were normal. Also given was a 3 month period of celibacy after the birth of a daughter and 6 months after a son. Therefore the second 'marriage' occured in 33 A.D when she bore her first child, a daughter called Tamar.
Four years after the birth of her daughter Tamar, in 37 A.D., Mary gave birth to their first son, who, in the age-old tradition, was named Jesus after his father. In 44 A.D., at the age of 41 years, Mary gave birth to a second son, Joseph, named after his grandfather. This boy was the important 'Grail Child.'
Some time later, Mary Magdalene decided to divorce Jesus. One author cites that Jesus "The Christ" travelled to Rome via Crete and Malta in 60 A.D.[4], presumably after the couple officially parted.
They had parted amicably, and Mary went to live in the South of France, probably in that same year of 60 A.D. or possibly earlier. She went to the region of the Southern Rhone Valley known as Provence, where she lived for some years as a hermit in a cave in the side of a mountain known as Le Massif Saint Baume, "The Mountain of Holy (or Sanctified) Healing (or Consolation)". This cave became known as La Cave de Solitude, "The Cave of Solitude".
In 63 A.D., Mary Magdalene died at St. Baume, aged 60. Her remains were preserved in the Abbey of Saint Maximus in the nearby village. In 1279 A.D., King Charles II of Sicily, who was also Le Compte de Provence (The Count of Provence), disinterred Mary's body. Her skull and an upper arm were removed and the body was reburied. The removed bones were set in gold and silver and preserved in a casket as holy relics in St. Maximus' Abbey, where they have remained ever since.
