She accompanied Jesus on his journeys(Luke 8:2). She was present at the crucifixtion of Jesus (Luke 27:56) She was the first to see the risen Christ (John 20:14-16). She was the one who told the disciples that Christ had risen. She kept journals, or Gospels of the things that were happening around her, know as the "Gospels of Mary", discovered in 1896 in a fifth century codex.
