Mary Magdalene
and the
Red Egg Miracle
Find out the real meaning of Easter eggs…
Mary Magdalene and the Red Egg Miracle is a beautifully written Christian children’s book that brings to life the beloved story of Mary Magdalene, the Apostle to the Apostles, as she boldly shares the news of Jesus’ Resurrection with Emperor Tiberius. Featuring vivid storytelling, rich historical detail, and a powerful faith-filled message, this Easter storybook gently explains why Christians color eggs at Easter and what those bright red eggs really mean.
On a sweltering afternoon in the Roman emperor’s palace, Tiberius is tired of visitors and bored by talk of harvests. When a poor woman arrives in simple clothing, carrying nothing more than a basket of plain eggs, he is ready to dismiss her. But Mary Magdalene is not just any visitor. With courage and quiet strength, she announces the incredible news: “Christ is risen!” The emperor scoffs and declares that Christ is no more risen than an egg can turn red. Then, right before his eyes, every egg in her basket blazes into a brilliant crimson, a dazzling sign of new life and the power of God.
