Is Mary Magdalene Jesus’ wife?

No, Mary Magdalene was not Jesus’ wife. Our Lord was not married to any woman. Any reference that is made to Christ and His Bride refers to the Church— of which all the redeemed are members. Some contemporary works of fiction make such claims, but nothing in secular history, nor Church history and tradition, supports them.

The only relationship between Jesus and Mary was that of Teacher and disciple, Savior and saved. This is the same love and friendship between the Lord and those whom He has redeemed––beginning with the Apostles and disciples who accompanied Him during His lifetime.

Why is St. Mary Magdalene called the “Apostle to the Apostles”?

St. Mary is called “Apostle to the Apostles” because she was the first person Christ instructed to proclaim the Good News of His Resurrection to the Apostles (John 20:17). It is said that Saint Hippolytus (c. 170- c.235) gave her this title.
