• TITLE: Mineral Particles Found on the Hairs of Holy Maria-Magdalena Studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Elemental Analysis

  AUTHORS: Gérard Lucotte

  KEYWORDS: Maria-Magdalena’s Hair, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Disper-sive X-Ray, Marble Fragments, Mineral Particles

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol.10 No.3, March 3, 2020

  ABSTRACT: The presumed hairs of Holy Maria-Magdalena are studied here for mineral particles found on their surfaces, by the techniques of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray. Exploration by these techniques of the hair surfaces allows us to observe and study some marble fragments that can originate from the walls of the sarcophagus in which Maria-Magdalena’s remains were kept. These new findings support the authenticity of the hair as traditionally reported in the French “tradition des Saints de Provence”.
