Beautiful Mary Magdalene churches

The Russian Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene on the slope of the Mount of Olives, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem is surely the most spectacular of Mary Magdalene churches. It was commissioned by the Tsar Alexander III in 1886.

I find Eastern Orthodox Magdalene churches more amazing architecturally than Western Catholic ones. Here is a small selection of favorites. The first is in Odessa, Ukraine.
