The Magdalene is a fascinating historical character, even down to contention about her nom de guerre.
You refer to her as Mary of Magdela, which is common enough but is none the less wrong, she is biblically and elsewhere known as Mary that is called the Magdalene.
In the same way that Peter is referred to as Simon that is called Peter
As James and John that are called boanerges

It is nothing to do with the Galilean town of Magdela which was little more than three tents and a Donkey at the presumed time of Jesus, not the sort of place where an obviously wealthy family of two sisters and a brother. Would they or could they live and be visited by Jesus and his hoard? 12 apostles, each with disciples of their own, families, supplies, all being able to accommodated in the home of The Magdalene? This then is perhaps the real root of her name :-
Peter means Rock
Boanerges means Sons of Thunder
Magdalene means Tower.

She perhaps owned and lived in a home big enough to have a tower, or was herself a towering figure, socially high ranked.

Alternately, she may have come from another place called Magdela. There is a city of Magda then as now in Egypt, but more intriguingly, back then Magdala was the capital city of Sheba, modern day Ethiopia meaning she was probably black.
An idea backed up by the proliferation of so called Black Madonnas found all over the Languedoc region of France, a place where according to French and theological history the Magdalene fled after the ascension, according to one source, the Gnostic Gospel of Mary Magdalene, she took refuge from the terrible revenge threatened to her by Simon Peter.
It is a fact that the alleged skull of Mary Magdalene can still be found in the South of France in the once Gallo Roman town of Villa Latta or Tégulata, in St. Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume church, from whence it paraded every Magdalene’s day July 22nd.
What is intriguing is that in the historical record is it is claimed she arrive in Languedoc with a full entourage of people including her beloved maidservant Sarah. Sarah who is specifically mentioned as “Also being black skinned”. However since her name is in a list of people the other half of the “also” is unclear, but as a maidservant to Mary, who is it likely to be?
If we go with this theory for a moment, Mary was a rich Ethiopian living in Bethany (as the bible tells us)
Likewise neither Martha or Lazarus are Jewish names, Lazarus hints at being Egyptian as it is a shortened Greek version of Eleazar who was an Egyptian Priest who helped Moses flee Egypt. Martha However is not a name at all it is Aramaic word for Serving Girl.
So we are faced with not a brother and two sisters, but a noble woman accompanied by a priest and her servant living a rich life style in Bethany. So if Lazarus is a priest (called in at least one gospel he who Jesus loved, as is the supposed author of the gospel of John) what role does "Mary “play?
Given it is she who performs the rite of anointing the feet of Jesus with Spikenard (an expensive herbal balm from guess were...Ethiopia) and drying his feet with her hair.
That rite is not Jewish; it is a practice of Osiris worship, from Egypt where Jesus spent his youth.
It is a rite performed by the Priestess enacting the part of the goddess Isis, who is also in most statues and paintings a black woman.

So to get to the point how does The Magdalene connect to Easter?
Easter is name for the goddess Oestara Goddess of spring, the East, Resurrection, and Rebirth who is the Anglo-Saxon version of Isis whose priestess and representative on earth at the supposed time of Christ was Mary that is called the Magdalene
