Jerusalem? Really? Who Are You Kidding?

The 4th-Century *Acts of Philip* and the Mary Magdalene Tradition

However, in the Acts of Philip, written in the 4th century, the oldest known account of Mary Magdalene's travels, she does not die in France.

According to the Acts of Philip, at the end of the story, Mariamne is said supposed to go home to Israel, to the Jordan Valley, and the author has an allusion that where she would die and be buried.

The Acts of Philip clearly tell us that Mary Magdalene, Jesus' most trusted apostle, dies here in Jerusalem.
