According to Jacobus de Voragine´s Golden Legend (c.1260), 14 years after Christ´s Passion, Mary Magdalene and her companions were abandoned and set adrift in a small boat to die. The boat miraculously landed on the shores of the Gulf of Marseilles, where the rest of the saint´s life ran its course. This place, in which she chose to devote herself to the contemplation of divine matters, was barren and lacked water and sources of food. Consequently, every day at the seven moments corresponding to the canonical hours, the angels would carry her to Heaven so she could attend the Divine Office … with her own bodily ears, she heard the canticles intoned by the glorious celestial armies. This spiritual nourishment compensated for her lack of food and water in the desert.
