Maria-Magdalene kilden er en helligkilde der ligger udenfor kirkegården ved Dragstrup Kirke.
Kilden er en cirkulær brønd, bygget op af sten. Diameteren foroven er ca. 1,10 m.
Folk kom til helligkilden for at blive helbredt. Vandet skulle være særlig godt for øjensygdomme.
Kilden er måske især blevet besøgt af spedalske, da der i kirkens sydmur findes et lille, lavtsiddende Vindue,der kaldes "De Spedalskes Lydhul". "De Spedalske har udefra gennem Lydhullet kunnet høre Gudstjenesten, som deres frygtelige Sygdom afskar dem fra at deltage i "

The Maria-Magdalene spring is a Holy Well located outside the cemetery at Dragstrup Church.
The spring is a circular well, built of stone. The diameter at the top is approx. 1.10 m.
People came to the Holy Well to be healed. The water should be especially good for eye diseases.
The spring may have been especially visited by lepers, as in the south wall of the church there is a small, low-seated window called "The Lepers' Sound Hole". The Lepers have been able to hear the service from outside through the Sound Hole, which their terrible disease prevented them from participating in.
