Description

Throughout the centuries, on Saint Mary Magdalene's memorial day, the Church of Rome would commemorate the «famous sinner» pardoned by Jesus. Several cardinals chose the subject of the penitent Magdalene to decorate their opulent residences, by commissioning paintings by successful artists or obtaining artists' copies of masterpieces that had become exceptionally famous. For these prelates, whose lives were not always morally upstanding, having close to hand an image of a sinner pardoned by Jesus Christ and ultimately «promoted» to sainthood must have offered welcome consolation.And yet, in an abbey at the gates of the Eternal City, Mary Magdalene would be commemorated with very different words: not «sinner» but «deaconess», not «penitent» but a fully-fledged member of the first Christian community. The monks of this abbey had not invented anything; they had simply followed a precious manuscript that they treasured jealously.Thanks to this manuscript, these monks continued to commemorate saint Mary Magdalene without ever allowing themselves to be influenced by the Roman environment.
