Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Magdala, the Hometown of Mary Magdalene, with captivating rhymes and illuminating and delightful illustrations. Although Magdala is mentioned several times in the scriptures, it came lately as a huge surprise, when remains of this ancient fishery town were revealed on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee in the Holy land. Most exciting was the discovery of a stone block, on which a Menorah shape was engraved. It tells that the artist must have seen the original Menorah in the Temple before 70 AD (year of the Temple's destruction). In short years Magdala has already become a very special place of history and culture, as it provides an authentic location to walk and pray where Jesus taught, and to connect with the first century life of Jesus' followers.
