In the Gospel of St John 20:27, Jesus says (to Mary Magdalene)
"Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
Can someone explain to me why Christ says this... especially the part 'to my God and your God'.

There were also women deacons who would take the Eucharist to the widows and orphans who couldn't make it to church. So the idea that a woman cannot touch the Eucharist seems historically inaccurate.
