ST. MARY MAGDALENE - God's Wondrous Saints, a podcast

#marymagdalene #ancientfaithkids #orthodoxchristian O glorious Saint Mary Magdalene, pray to God for us! (scroll down for words of the hymn!) This week Fr. Alexander talks about Saint Mary Magdalene, a myrrh-bearing woman who spent her life as a missionary on behalf of Jesus Christ. Join us to learn her hymn and know more about Saint Mary, celebrated every year on July 22nd. Fr. Alexander is a priest at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Phoenix, AZ. After finding a lack of Orthodox story podcasts for kids, as father of his two children, Max and Penelope, he is here to share the wealth of knowledge and wisdom we get about our faith just from reading the lives of the saints of our Church.
