Program overview
One of the most significant events in the history of the Archdiocese of Veszprém, the beatification of Mária Magdolna Bódi, is being celebrated this year. By deciphering the secrets of the artifacts depicting the events of the life of we can come closer to the mystery of Magdalene-ness by deciphering the secrets of the artifacts that depict the events of Mary Magdalene's life.
The thorny thistle, thriving with wild abandon along the dusty road, and the pure beauty of the lily, graced with its enchanting fragrance, seem like opposites. It’s tempting to call one good and the other bad—especially when they stand side by side. Yet in the realm of ancient symbols, things are far less simple.
The thistle is a rare attribute of Mária Magdolna.
Its complex meaning embodies everything for which Mary Magdalene is revered among the greatest saints. While celebrating Mária Magdolna Bódi's beatification, it is worth paying attention to the example set by her and her patron saint, and the message of the thistle and the lily.
