In the classical representation, in the Byzantine icons that represent her, Mary Magdalene is represented with the alabaster vase in her hands, this vase that she would have broken, spreading the perfume of the ointment throughout the house. But is she the Mary, who broke the alabaster vase that anointed the feet, the head of Jesus? Together with Father Alessandro Coniglio, biblist, and Prof. Marinella Perroni, theologian, we bring you to discover the one who followed and served Jesus of Nazareth, the one who was a disciple of the Master together with other women and together with others, she came with him to Jerusalem and participated in the passion. But what does it mean today to follow Jesus? How can this be done? The story of Wafa, from Bethlehem, who, amidst pain and difficulty, thanks to faith, sends a message of hope.
