The Life of St. Mary Magdalene, according to Synaxarion

Synaxarion
On the twenty-second of July, we commemorate the Holy Myrrhbearer and Equal of the Apostles, Mary Magdalene.

She was from Magdala, which is in the regions of Syria. When she approached Christ, she followed Him, and because she was troubled by seven demons, she was delivered from them by the grace of Christ. Therefore she followed Christ and served Him until His Passion and Crucifixion, and became a Myrrhbearerand preacher of the gospel, and was first among the Myrrhbearers who saw the Risen Christ, along with the other Mary, namely our Lady the Theotokos.
After the Sabbath had ended, she saw an Angel, as recorded by Matthew the Evangelist. And arriving in the morning at the Tomb, she then saw two Angels dressed in white sitting therein. Then she saw Christ, mistaking Him at first for the gardener, and she wanted to grab Him by the feet, but she heard Him say, according to John the Evangelist: "Do not touch Me."
After the Ascension of our Lord, this Myrrhbearer went to Ephesus, where she found Saint John the Theologian. And there she reposed venerably, and was buried next to the door of the cave in which later the Seven Youths of Ephesus reposed. Many years having passed, during the reign of the renowned emperor Leo the Wise, in the year 890, her holy relic was translated to Constantinople, and was treasured there in the Monastery of Saint Lazarus, which had been built by this same emperor. There her Synaxis and Feast is celebrated, in the district of the Curator (Kouratoros), near the Taurus.

Was Mary Magdalene really a prostitute?
This interpretation was the opinion of Pope Gregory the Great, in the 6th century. But the early Church Fathers do not agree with this. Thus neither Orthodoxy nor Protestantism adopted this version.
In 1969, Roman Catholics admitted that the text of the Bible does not support this interpretation.
Saint Mary Magdalene is celebrated on July 22 by the Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Anglicans and Lutherans.
