	Magdala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Magdala ("tower") was a small village in Galilee, which seems to have been the birthplace of Mary Magdalene, or "Mary of Magdala", in the Christian New Testament.
		One Magdala was in the east, on the Yarmuk near Gadara (in the Middle Ages "Jadar", now Mukes), thus acquiring the name Magdala Gadar.
		There was another, better-known Magdala near Tiberias, Magdala Nunayya, ("Magdala of the fishes"), which would locate it on the shore of the lake.
