"A bone of the resurrection witness, preserved in Paris's temple-church"
Mary Magdalene's Bone at La Madeleine
Paris, Île-de-France, France
About This Sacred Site
In the great neoclassical church that Paris dedicated to Mary Magdalene, a reliquary near the altar holds what is claimed to be a bone of the saint herself. She who first saw the risen Christ, who ran to tell the apostles 'He is risen,' is made present through this relic—one of many fragments scattered across France from the woman tradition says preached thirty years in Provence.
