[2timothy3.16]

It is my understanding that Mary Magdalene, who is only described as having seven devils driven from her, was confused with the legendary prostitute Mary of Egypt ...

I must say, I had not heard that, no had the author.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I pinged The_Reader_David. The Orthodox have some interesting stories about Mary Magdalene, one of which involves the conversion of an emperor and a red egg. I wonder if this is the Christian root of why we dye Easter eggs. I'll let David tell the story because he knows it better than I do.
