TODAY IN HISTORY

12 December 1279

A sarcophagus in Saint-Maximin, France, was found — believed to contain Mary Magdalene's remains.

According to legend, Mary Magdalene, along with her brother Lazarus and others, fled the Holy Land by boat and landed in France.

After landing, Mary Magdalene preached the gospel in Marseille before retiring to a cave in the Sainte-Baume mountains for a life of penance and contemplation.

After her death, she was buried in Saint-Maximin.

However, her remains were believed to have been lost or stolen until this rediscovery.

This led to the 1295 construction of the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene.

Genetic tests on hair from the reliquary suggest it belonged to a woman of likely Jewish origin.

12 December 1863

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was born in Løten, Norway. He became an extremely important figure in the Expressionist movement.

Munch's work includes his iconic piece, "The Scream."

His childhood was shadowed by illness, death and the fear of inheriting mental illness, which deeply influenced his art.

Munch had a unique style with its expressive color and form. His legacy endures as one of profound emotional expression in painting.

12 December 1915

The legendary Frank Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey.

MARY MAGDALENE

Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume

            In 1279, a sarcophagus believed to have been the tomb of Mary Magdalene was discovered. Charles II of Anjou, King of Naples founded the Gothic Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene. Tradition said that Mary, her brother Lazarus and Maximinus fled the Holy Land by a miraculous boat which landed in Camargue, near Arles. In Marseille, Mary converted the local people and retired to a cave in the mountains. She was buried in Saint-Maximin and today states that it holds the remains of Mary Magdalene. Genetic testing showed that the hair was of Jewish ancestry.
