St. Mary Magdalene

St. Mary Magdalene

St. Mary Magdalene is a group of cross sculptures located in Perkhtoltsdorf Hohberg, Austria, which includes a statue of St. Mary Magdalene. This group of cross sculptures can be traced back to the early 18th century. The assistant characters surrounding the 5.25-meter-high cross were replaced with replicas after being repeatedly destroyed. St. Mary Magdalene is an important figure in the New Testament, one of Jesus' loyal followers and the first person to see him after his resurrection. In art, she is often depicted as a repentant sinner who has spent many years in the wilderness.
