Mary Magdelene
Jesus Christ had twelve disciples and among His followers a woman known as Mary Magdalene. Judas Iscariot had become a traitor and hypocrite, and after the crucifixion the remaining eleven disciples were wavering and undecided. It is certain from the evidence of the Gospels that the one who comforted them and reestablished their faith was Mary Magdalene.

Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 12 Qudrat 182 B.E.
But after I leave, some people may arise in Opposition, heaping persecutions upon you in their bitterness . . . Rest ye in the assurance of firmness. Be well poised and serene, remembering that this is only as the harmless twittering of sparrows and that it will soon pass away.
