Mary Magdalene Greeting Card
by JudithLauraMary Magdalene by Judith Laura. Symbolism based on modern theories.
Judith Laura's depiction of Mary Magdalene is based on four different contemporary interpretations:
(1) The historical theory that she was a disciple/apostle; she had great intellectual and spiritual understanding and was the disciple with the closest relationship to Jesus, but this relationship wasn't sexual.
(2) The historical theory that she was married to Jesus, that they had at least one child, and Mary and the child(ren) eventually went to France.
(3) The mythological theory that she and Jesus were involved in a hieros gamos, or sacred marriage.
(4) The metaphysical belief of some current gnostic groups who worship Mary Magdalene as the female counterpart of Jesus.
The symbolism in Judith's Magdalene work include: a cup/grail is inscribed with her name in Aramaic, the language she spoke; a downward pointing triangle, a female symbol; a crown/halo above her head, embedded with 13 (the number of lunar months) egg-shaped rubies. (The egg is a symbol long associated with Magdalene as a symbol of life and/or resurrection.) The entire figure is composed of many oval and triangular shapes. How many can you find?
