Mary Magdalene deserves the honor

How about we put a woman on the face of the penny? Why not? My first instinct was to say Jesus! But, after I thought about it, we don’t have any women on the faces of change. It’s called change for a reason. I think I would say religion changes everything. And the closest woman to Jesus is Mary Magdalene. It all depends on which religious standpoint you talk about from I guess, and some might say it is a bit religiously discriminating, but I could care less. We are a Judeo-Christian based society, thought it rarely shows. I think Mary is the best choice.
The historical facts surrounding Mary Magdalene are shrouded in speculation. However accounts from the Gospels and other sources say that Mary Magdalene was one of Jesus’ most devoted followers. She is considered by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican churches to be a saint. It is said she was a women of “ill repute” but according to the Gospel of Mark and Luke her pure devotion to Christ earned her complete forgiveness. Mary Magdalene stood near Jesus at his crucifixion and was the first to see his resurrection. This crucifixion changed history supposedly. The most dedicated to Jesus Christ is who I would want to look at the most. Have you ever looked at the amount of change you receive when you purchase something? The majority of my change is usually pennies, I don’t know how. But I would rather see someone who spiritually changed the world, more than someone who historically changed anything. History is boring, and when it’s not, it’s just horrible.
