MAGDALA, Israel -- Discoveries from a new archaeological dig are creating excitement in the area where Jesus began his ministry. The village is called Magdala (Migdal in Hebrew), and it's the home of Mary Magdalene.
"She lived here and she met Jesus here and she continued with Him. Yes, it's that place," senior Israeli archaeologist Arfan Najar, who oversees the excavation at Magdala, told CBN News.
In the synagogue, the team discovered a 2,000-year-old treasure. They call it the Magdala Stone, and some archaeologists say it's the most important discovery in decades.
Good post! Isn't the excavated synagogue at Capernaum thought to be one of the first synagogues where Jesus taught at the beginning of His earthly ministry? (Matt. 4)
Jesus of Nazareth and Mary of Magdala: "Could she have been an Apostle to the Apostles?"

But I am sure, male dominance portrayed her that way.

Mary was an apostle (NOT a prostitute) and one of Christ's favorites. She annoyed Peter because she always seemed to know the answers when Christ asked the apostles questions. Peter was the original chauvinist pig . . . followed by Paul . . . father of all the Christian chauvinists to this day. Her Gospel was excluded from the canon for that reason primarily. Jesus must be very grieved at the corruptions of His Gospel that dominate so many so-called Christian churches.
