Gregory I (540-604), was pope from 590 until his death. He is known for his prolific writings and for revising the worship of the western Christian church. He was canonized immediately after his death and he is the patron saint of musicians, singers, students, and teachers.
He argued against the opinion of the Patriarch Eutychius of Constantinople, who had said that one would not have been able to touch or feel the resurrected body of Christ. He also associated Mary of Magdalene with the woman that Luke had described as a sinner, and that John called Mary and the sister of Lazarus and Martha, with the Mary from out of whom Mark said seven demons had been cast out.
