The "cult of Mary Magdalene"----she came to France after the death of Jesus, bearing his child. According to their legend, Jesus had married Mary, but the misogynist Paul twisted the teachings of Jesus around and called her a whore. She left after the crucifixion; believing her life (and unborn child) in danger, she took a ship which landed on the coast of France. (Interesting story; were it true, he would be my ancestor.)

>cult of Mary Magdalene"

Much of this is based on the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Baigent Lee and Lincoln. A very interesting book for the first 2/3 which covers the history of that region of France. The last 1/3 is a total change, even reads like written by some else. It is pure hokum and clearly agenda driven.

I visited the HBHG sites in SW France a decade ago. Most interesting, spooky in it's own way, reeking of history and intrigue.
