Natalia Bevzyuk / Unrecognized Apostles of Christ: Mary Magdalene and Origen

The history of women in the fate of world civilizations has its own significance. The theme of Mary Magdalene, perhaps the most mysterious and closed figure of Christianity, remained extremely "inconvenient" for Orthodox and Catholic circles. This amazing woman was called the Apostle of the Apostles in the Middle Ages. She is the only one whom he loved most of all and “kissed on the lips” Jesus Christ. She was the first to announce the Resurrection; she spoke to the apostles words of comfort, talked about the sinful nature of man and called for knowledge of the true "I". Temples and monasteries were named after Mary Magdalene; Pope Gregory the Great ranked her among the saints. Even Dan Brown's acclaimed book, The Da Vinci Code, was dedicated to her. And the Madeleine Temple in Paris is one of the most beloved temples in Paris.              Another great Person of Christianity is Origen. His name is known only to philosophers, theologians, historians, but not to most Christians. Origen was the greatest scholar of his era, the most gifted of all the Donican fathers of the church. Even pagans and heretics admired his brilliant talents and extensive scholarship. He is the founder of a critical study of the Bible, participated in theological disputes, opened a philosophical and theological school. To confirm the Christian church, he did more than all his enemies combined, but at the same time he was expelled from his homeland and excommunicated.Mary Magdalene and Origen, who affirmed the gospel of Jesus Christ at the cost of their lives, are worthy (unrecognized) apostles of Christianity.
