I am curious as to what the significance (if any) is to the fact that Mary Magdalene was the First to witness the resurrection of Christ.  A "fallen woman" according to some accounts.  Yet, a "female".  Why did Jesus not choose to reveal himself to any one of the male apostles?  To me, it speaks volumes about tolerance and acceptance, no matter what impression you may have about Mary Magdalene.  Then, how does one explain so much of Paul's writings which show marked misogyny (women hating) and other biases?  [[User:Seekcommon]]

''Many faithful women such as Mary Magdalene stood by Jesus at the time of his death. Mary Magdalene was outstanding in her faith and works of devotion.  Within Judaism women were considered unworthy of being legal witnesses and Jesus used Mary Magdalene as his witness to inform his disciples that he was alive and so therefore this was a blow to Jewish tradition.
