That could also be why she is identified as being from Magdala; her husband is dead. As for the demons, she probably had all seven like the demoniac who possessed by a "legion" of demons. It could have also been something like epilepsy or schizophrenia, which would have been seen as demon possession during that time. Thank you for your questions, and I'm so sorry it took me so long to answer. Christine,

She must have had one... and how about the idea that she is introduced as Mary of Magdala rather than Mary, daughter of.... or Mary, wife of..... Also, the Bible says she was healed of seven demons. Do you think this was a case of 'she had one, which went away, and came back with more' which is mentioned elsewhere (in relation to demons, not to Mary) in the Bible? Would love to know your thoughts! Christine What is your opinion on Mary’s source of income?
