Mary Magdalene’s life was not recorded in detail in the Bible or

in any scriptures relating to that. However, we do know that
Mary lived in a small town in Magdala. Later on in her life, Jesus
released 7 evil demons from her body and she soon became an
avid follower of him. Her date of birth and death are unknown,
but some say that she died in a cave somewhere in France
whilst praying.
