Some say that Mary Magdalene ended her days with San Juan and the Blessed Virgin in Ephesus, another legend assumes that the woman ran away with Lazarus and his sisters, reaching the coasts of Gaul. Mary Magdalene evangelized part of France and spent her last days in a cave in Provence.

On 10 December 1279 in some excavations ordered by King Charles II, the remains of Mary Magdalene were found intact, in the dust of the tomb there was a wooden tablet wrapped in wax.

It is said that when the tomb was first opened there was a wonderful ′ ′ smell of roses ′ ′ filling the air, and there was a small piece of skin attached to her body, in the place where Jesus touched it after his resurrection, the bishops assumed that through the miracle of Jesus’ touch the skin was still alive.

After 2 years, the alleged skull of Mary Magdalene is kept in a small town in France, for all to see, many witnesses assure that the characteristic ′ ′ aroma of roses ′ ′ continues to persist.
