Inside the Cave of Mary Magdalene

From page 303 of the book:  Father Revenant once told me it was widely believed in Southern France that Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, had come to the Mediterranean coast of France to bring Christianity to the Gauls. He found it stretched one's faith when the country folk of the 10th century added Lazarus to the story, and said it would take more than a couple of old God-enshrouded Galilean women to bring the effort any tangible success.
