Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Of all the saints days we commemorate in the church, Saint Mary Magdalene sounds the most jarring, doesn't it? Seems the most unusual, the most unlikely, the most out of place, the most... well let's just say it: wrong. But that's what makes this day so right. Mary reminds us that we are all unlikely saints. A saint is someone God has taken hold of and says: forgiven, free, mine! And that makes Mary Magdalene the perfect saint.
