Believing this to be the skull of Mary Magdalene when it was found in the 1200s, French Catholics encased it in gold, evoking a luminous specter of the woman the Bible describes as one of Christ’s most loyal followers. It is displayed at a basilica in St.-Maximin-la-Ste.-Baume. (Photo Lynn Johnson)
