I remember being an intern 4 years ago thinking how pathetic it was that the people I worked for couldn’t even manage their own calendar….. I get it now….
Today is the feast day of Mary Magdalene.
This is said to be her skull, which was discovered by the monks of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume in 1279.
It's kept under a glass dome in a golden reliquary in the crypt of a Gothic basilica dedicated to the saint in Southern France.
