Mary Magdalene, Dan Brown, Christianity; or a Question of Faith?

If history is right, then everybody is living a Christian life with a lie. I guess this is what the Da Vinci Code is all about. 

I have seen the movie few times with Tom Hanks starred as the symbologist Robert Langdon. I would say that the movie itself reflects a big question about Christianity. But, this has been so open to me now since I started to read the book. I pity myself for not having Dan Brown's sense of thinking or experience. I wonder how did he knew all about this? How did he knew the places, dates and persons involved? I know thorough research, visiting the places and knowing the people were mostly the thing that Brown did to complete his book. 


What really caught my attention about these movie and book is the fact or fiction about Mary Magdalene playing a great role that may change our point of view in living a Christian life and believing that Jesus Christ is the sole saviour we have who propagated Christianity in the whole world. 

History tells us that Jesus and Mary's acquaintance started when Mary washed Jesus' feet and wiped it with her hair. Every bible tells this lore and we believe that this is what had happened. Aside from this, she was the first woman dubbed as the prostitute as far as i know. Reality though is far from this story as told by the keepers of the Holy Grail (Mary Magdalene). Mary Magdalene as foretold in the story is of a royal blood that her existence as Jesus' companion (its equal to spouse) needs to be hid. And so, Pagans started to change the story by building and coming up with ideas such as her being prostitute, she was just a part of the history of Jesus and his disciples but the fact is kept and as Brown's story goes, Magdalene is Jesus' wife and that she conceived Jesus Baby. 


 Mary Magdalene was not a big name for me until i read and understand Brown's book. Or shall I say that the movie itself, though might be fact or fiction, encouraged me to dig for reality about the existence of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ being together.


It might have been centuries ago when their story had happened but the fact that this has been one great topic to talk about as this concerns the whole world and every living Christian. We are bound to know the truth about this and we have the right to seek for some answers as this is a part of our existence as well.


Its not just that I have read the book by Dan Brown, Da Vinci Code or have watch the movie based on the book but I also have a DVD entitled "The Lost Tomb of Jesus Christ". In this medium, it tells us about Jesus' tomb and again, curiousity digs me when Mary Magdalene was mentioned again in this documentary. Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife, they ahve a baby named Juda and that she was supposed to propagate te real Christianity.

Who is Mary Magdalene? Is she really is the one who Jesus has pass the right to propagate Christianity and the right doctrines of the religion? IS she really was Jesus's wife? Is she one of the Disciples? Is she the Holy Grail?


If reality arise that she is one divine woman whom we should have known the real religion, then this world has been living in a lie for centuries. A pity by then for our generation. Pagans should have known that truth always prevails if and only if REALITY about MARY MAGDALENE concludes.
