Mary Magdalene Meditation Novena DAY 6 with Eliane Abdinnour

Eliane Abdinnour grew up in the Holy Land. As a Palestinian Christian and having family in the pilgrimage business, the Holy Sites have been both a means of livelihood and places for her personal faith journey. In 2010 Fr Juan Solana asked her to assist him in the Magdala project initiative. Over the course of ten years she worked behind the scenes in development, promotion, marketing, and fundraising. More than an investment of time and talent, she put her heart at the service of the mission, assisting as well with the initial development and vision of the Magdalena Institute to promote the dignity of the human person. She also became an advocate for inviting local Christians to value the hometown of Mary Magdalene. In this interview Eliane shares some of her family history, the value of the holy sites for her personally, a transforming experience in Magdala, her role in the burgeoning project of Magdala, and who Mary Magdalene has become for her.
