After being set adrift in a boat from Palestine, Mary Jacoby (sister of the Virgin), Mary Salome, Mary Magdalene, Lazarus and servant girl, Sara landed on the Provençal coast. They were the first Christians in Gaul. The “relics” of Jacoby and Salome are found in the town’s church, as are those of Sara, patron saint of gypsies (see Notre-Dame des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer).
