Everything about The Sainte-baume totally explained
The
Sainte-Baume (en
provençal:
Massís de la Santa Bauma according to classical orthography and

Mary Magdalene tradition
The French tradition of Saint Lazare of Bethany is that
Mary Magdalene, her brother
Lazarus, and Maximinus, one of the
Seventy Disciples and some companions, expelled by persecutions from the Holy Land, traversed the Mediterranean in a frail boat with neither rudder nor mast and landed at the place called
Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer near Arles. Mary Magdalene came to Marseille and converted the whole of Provence. Magdalene is said to have retired to a cave on a hill by Marseille, La
Sainte-Baume ("Holy Cave", baumo in Provencal), where she gave herself up to a life of penance for thirty years. The cave is now a Christian pilgrimage site.
