Session around Mary Magdalene
Session to discover Saint Mary Magdalene at the place of her tradition: teachings, prayer, ascent to the grotto, and liturgical offices.
Discovering the figure of Saint Mary Magdalene
The Sanctuary of La Sainte-Baume invites you to discover or deepen your understanding of Saint Mary Magdalene, the first witness of the Resurrection and "Apostle of the Apostles".
At the heart of the place where Christian tradition locates the final years of her life, this weekend offers an opportunity to better know her witness, her mission, and the relevance of her message for Christians today.
Through teachings, times of prayer, fraternal exchanges, and the possibility of ascending to the grotto of Saint Mary Magdalene, each person is invited to be renewed by the encounter with Christ, following the example of the one who remained faithful to him until the very end.
