Get saint from anagram (medley that needs rearrangement) (4,9)
I believe the answer is:
mary magdalene
'saint from anagram medley that needs rearrangement' is the definition.
'mary magdalene' can be an answer for 'saint' (I have seen 'Christian saint ' mean 'mary magdalene' so perhaps 'saint' could also mean 'mary magdalene'). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mary magdalene that I've seen before include "Sinner who became a follower of Jesus" , "Female follower of Jesus" , "Christian saint" .)
