Description: | This picture fragment shows Mary Magdalene kneeling before the Risen Christ. Their encounter is narrated in the Gospel of John 20. 14-18. After Mary Magdalene found the tomb empty, she failed to recognise Christ until he spoke her name and urged her not to touch him, 'Noli me tangere', 'for I am not yet ascended to my Father'. The episode was described in Franciscan manuals, such as the Meditations on the Life of Christ, where Mary Magdalene was presented as a role model for penitent devotees. | Subjects: | Mary Magdalene Christ) 'noli me tangere' religion (Resurrection | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Flemish School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8942... | Go to resource |
