Abstract

"The small Church of Mary Magdalene in the remote village of Rennes-le-Chateau in southern France may well hold the key to the proof of Mary Magdalene's marriage to Jesus and the bloodline they founded. In 1885 the village of Rennes-le-Chateau welcomed a new priest, Abbe Sauniere. During his time there he ordered and oversaw a substantial - and expensive - restoration of the church. But where did this modest priest get the funds for this work?"--Book jacket
