Seeing incredible miracle, they became his first preachers and servants. In the new apostolic vocation these wives bore the glad tidings of the power of the Most High.
- The first follower of the Messiah was Mary Magdalene, who is known for her great remorse for a dissolute life and acceptance of church covenants.
- The second female preacher of the Son of God is Maria Kleopova. Her genealogy causes a lot of controversy: according to some sources, she is the sister of Magdalena, according to others, the wife of her brother Joseph the Betrothed. Other people spoke of her as the mother of Jacob, Judas, or Simon.

- The Orthodox feast of the Myrrh-Bearing Women honors the memory of the sisters Lazarus, Martha and Mary. The Savior honored these girls with his most luminous presence, he endowed them with honest sermons. The sisters sincerely believed in the Son of God after Christ resurrected Lazarus.
- Susanna is another sacred woman's name mentioned in the gospel. Luke speaks of this mother, praising her as an eternal servant of the Messiah.
All of them are the personalities thanks to whom the Feast of the Myrrh-Bearing Women gained wide popularity.
Important! There is a widespread legend that the Church discriminates against the rights of women in every possible way. These attacks are based on their exclusion from the priesthood. Western world leads an aggressive fight against such a dogmatic judgment, belittling the dignity of a man. However, Orthodoxy has always exalted the Mother of God and placed her above all the seraphim surrounding the throne of the Almighty Lord. There are no gender differences in the process of ascent to God.
The event that gave rise to the celebration
Myrrhbearers - women who lived in those places where Jesus Christ preached his own teaching. They are happy and big love met the Savior in their homes, considered Him the true Messiah, faithfully served him and followed in his footsteps without hindrance.
- All these women witnessed the suffering of God's Son on Calvary. The next morning they came to the body, which they removed after the crucifixion, and buried Him. Soon the myrrh-bearing women visited the Holy Sepulcher to perform the ritual of Anointing, as traditional Jewish customs commanded. This episode gave the name to the Orthodox celebration.

Holy Myrrh-bearing Women. Orthodox Women's Day
In the third week (in church calendar Sunday is called a week) after Easter, our Church glorifies the feat of the holy myrrh-bearing women: Mary Magdalene, Mary Cleopova, Salome, Joanna, Martha and Mary, Susanna and others.
These are the same women who witnessed death on the cross The Savior, who saw how the sun darkened, the earth shook, stones crumbled, and many righteous people rose from the dead when Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross. These are the very women whose homes the Divine Teacher visited for their love for Him, who followed Him to Golgotha and did not depart from the cross, despite the malice of the scribes and elders of the Jews, and the brutality of the soldiers. These are the same women who, loving Christ with pure, holy love, decided to go dark to the Holy Sepulcher, overcoming the horror by the grace of God that made the apostles run away in fear, hide behind closed doors, and forget about their student duty.
Weak, fearful women, by a miracle of faith, before our eyes grow into evangelizing wives, giving us an image of courageous and selfless service to God. It was to these women that the Lord first appeared, and then to Peter and the other disciples. Before anyone, before any of the men in the world, they learned about the Resurrection. And having learned, they became the first and strong preachers, began to serve Him already in a new, higher - apostolic calling, they carried the news of the Resurrection of Christ. Well, aren't SUCH women worthy of our memory, admiration and imitation?
Why do all the evangelists pay so much attention to the coming of the myrrh-bearing women to the Holy Sepulcher, and two of them add a story about how Mary Magdalene was chosen to be the first to see the Risen One? After all, Christ did not choose these women and did not call them to follow Him, like the apostles and 70 disciples? They themselves followed Him as their Savior and the Son of God, despite His apparent poverty, simplicity, and the obvious hostility of the high priests towards Him.
Imagine what these women had to experience, standing at the Cross of the Savior and seeing all the shame, horror and, finally, the death of their beloved Teacher?! When the Son of God gave up his spirit, they hurried home to prepare spices and myrrh, while Mary Magdalene and Mary Josiah watched where the body of Jesus was laid in the tomb. They left only after the onset of complete darkness, in order to return to the tomb before dawn.
“And now, more disciples – apostles! – remained at a loss, Peter himself wept bitterly over his denial, but the women were already hastening to the tomb of the Teacher. Is fidelity not the highest Christian virtue? When the word "Christians" was not yet used, they were called - "faithful." Liturgy of the Faithful. One of the illustrious ascetic fathers told his monks that in end times there will be saints, and their glory will surpass the glory of all who were before, because then there will be no miracles and signs, but they will remain faithful. How many feats of fidelity have been accomplished by good Christian women over the centuries of the history of the Church!” - writes historian Vladimir Makhnach.
Sin came into the world with a woman. She was the first to be tempted and tempted her husband to fall away from the will of God. But the Savior was born from the Virgin. He had a Mother. To the remark of the iconoclast king Theophilus: “Much evil came into the world from women,” nun Cassia, the future creator of the canon Great Saturday“With a wave of the sea,” she answered weightily: “Through a woman, the highest good also happened.”
The path of the myrrh-bearing women was neither mysterious nor complicated, but quite simple and understandable to each of us. These women, so different in life, served and helped their beloved Teacher in everything, took care of His needs, relieved Him way of the cross, sympathized with all His trials and torments. We remember how Mary, sitting at the feet of the Savior, listened with her whole being to His teaching about eternal life. And another Mary - Magdalene, anointing the Teacher's feet with precious ointment and wiping them with her long, wonderful hair, and how she wept on the way to Golgotha, and then ran at the dawn of the day of resurrection to the tomb of the tortured Jesus. And all of them, frightened by the disappearance of Christ from the tomb, weeping in inexpressible despair and amazed at the appearance of the Crucified on the way, when they were in a hurry to announce to the apostles what had happened.
Hieromartyr Seraphim (Chichagov) drew attention Soviet women: “They are all the more dear to us and close to our hearts because they were the same ordinary people, like us, with all human weaknesses and shortcomings, but out of boundless love for Christ, they were completely reborn, changed morally, achieved righteousness and justified on themselves every word of the teaching of the Son of God. By this rebirth, the holy myrrh-bearing women irrefutably proved to all the followers of Christ that the same saving rebirth is not only possible for them, but also obligatory on condition of their sincerity, and that it is accomplished by the grace-filled power of the gospel denunciation, admonishment, strengthening, inspiration or inducement to spiritual exploits. and the ascetics acquire the Kingdom of God, which is truth, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
They attained sincerity through their love for Christ, and by perfect repentance they got rid of and were healed of their passions. And forever they will serve everything Christendom an example of strong and lively love, Christian women's care for a person, an example of repentance!
For many centuries we had an Orthodox folk women's holiday, kind, bright, associated with the most important event in human history, the Resurrection of Christ - the week of holy myrrh-bearing women. Genuine International Women's Day. It is very important to revive it, because the calendar is the most precious asset of our culture. “Through the calendar, the cult influences culture, determines our life, the life of our country,” writes Vladimir Makhnach. - From the order of worship, from liturgical texts - to folk customs to the upbringing of children, to the moral health of society. And we, of course, should preserve everything that is left of our calendar, and gradually restore what is lost, stolen, perverted ... Our state, of course, is secular, but the country is Orthodox. And the state exists to serve the society, the nation.”
In the meantime, let's congratulate all the good Orthodox women with the day of the holy myrrh-bearing women. And celebrate. And rejoice. This year, the 3rd week of Easter (that is, the third Sunday) falls on May 7th.

What date is Orthodox Women's Day (Day of the Myrrh-bearing Women) celebrated? You will learn about it if you read this article of the Orthodoxy and the World portal.
In the third week (in the church calendar, Sunday is called a week) after Easter, our Church glorifies the feat of the holy myrrh-bearing women: Mary Magdalene, Mary Cleopova, Salome, Joanna, Martha and Mary, Susanna and others.
E those same women who witnessed the death of the Savior on the Cross, who saw how the sun darkened, the earth shook, stones crumbled, and many righteous people rose from the dead when Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross.

O nor have they attained sincerity through their love for Christ, and through perfect repentance have been delivered and healed of the passions. And forever they will serve the entire Christian world as an example of strong and living love, Christian women's care for a person, an example of repentance!

SUNDAY OF WOMEN-BEARERS.
Sermon by Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh
2nd Sunday after Easter. May 15, 1974
H Her convictions and not even a deep conviction can overcome the fear of death, shame, but only love can make a person faithful to the end, without limit, without looking back. Today we solemnly, reverently celebrate the memory of Saints Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea and the myrrh-bearing women.
And Osif and Nicodemus were secret disciples of Christ. While Christ preached to the crowds and was the object of hatred and increasing vindictiveness of His opponents, they timidly went to Him at night, when no one could notice their coming. But when suddenly Christ was taken, when He was seized and brought to death, crucified and killed, these two people, who during His life were timid disciples who did not decide their fate, suddenly out of devotion, out of gratitude, out of love for Him , in amazement before Him, turned out to be stronger than His closest disciples. They forgot fear and opened up to everyone when others were hiding. Joseph of Arimathea came to ask for the body of Jesus, Nicodemus came, who only dared to visit Him at night, and together with Joseph they buried their Teacher, whom they never refused again.
And myrrh-bearing women, about whom we know so little: one of them was saved by Christ from eternal perdition, from demonic possession; others followed Him: the mother of James and John and others, listening, accepting His teaching, becoming new people, learning Christ's only commandment about love, but about such love, which they did not know in their past, righteous or sinful, life. And they, too, were not afraid to stand at a distance - while Christ was dying on the cross and there was no one from His disciples, except John. They were not afraid to come and anoint the body of Jesus, rejected by people, betrayed by His own, condemned by strangers, a criminal.
P Later, two disciples, when the news of the resurrection of Christ reached them, quickly hurried to the tomb; one was John, who stood at the cross, the one who became an apostle and preacher of divine love and whom Jesus loved; and Peter, who denied his Master three times, about whom the myrrh-bearing women were told to “proclaim to My disciples and Peter,” because others hid from fear, and Peter denied his Teacher three times in front of everyone and could no longer consider himself a disciple: And bring him news of forgiveness...
And when this news reached him - how he rushed to the empty tomb to make sure that the Lord had risen and that it was still possible, that it was not too late to repent, that it was not too late to return to Him, that it was not too late to become His faithful disciple again. And indeed, later, when he met Christ by the Sea of Tiberias, Christ did not ask about his betrayal, but only about whether he still loves Him ...
L love turned out to be stronger than fear and death, stronger than threats, stronger than fear in the face of any danger, and where reason, conviction did not save the disciples from fear, love overcame everything ... So throughout the history of the world, both pagan and Christian, love wins. Old Testament tells us that love, like death, is strong: it alone can fight death - and win.
And therefore, when we test our conscience in relation to Christ, in relation to our Church, in relation to those closest or distant people, to the homeland - let us raise the question not about our convictions, but about our love. And whoever has a heart so loving, so faithful and unshakable in love, as was the case with timid Joseph, with the secret disciple Nicodemus, with the quiet myrrh-bearing women, with the traitor Peter, with young John - whoever has such a heart, he will stand against torture , against fear, against threats, will remain faithful to his God, and his Church, and to his neighbors, and to those far away, and to everyone.
BUT in whom there will be only strong convictions, but a cold heart, a heart that is not kindled with such love that can burn any fear, know that he is still fragile, and ask God for this gift of weak, fragile, but so true, such invincible love. Amen.
The day of the holy myrrh-bearing women is always celebrated Orthodox Church on the third Sunday after Easter. On this day, we remember all those believers and kind women who, after the burial of the Lord, “very early” in the morning went to the tomb in order, according to pious tradition, to anoint the body of the Reposed with fragrant aromas - peace. That is why we actually call the holy women myrrh-bearers. But a great miracle happened: the Lord was resurrected - and the first to know about it (after Holy Mother of God), it was precisely the myrrh-bearing women who came to the coffin with aromas that became. Here, in fact, Short story this holiday, but there is also a backstory. That is, of course, these pious and good women are glorified by the Church for their selfless and good service to the Lord, not only after His death and after the Resurrection, but also during His difficult earthly life. This ministry was, perhaps, hardly noticeable, in contrast to the ministry of the apostles, who were always “in sight”, next to the Lord, and preached, and persuaded, and argued, and performed miracles ... Women always seemed to remain in the shadows, but it was precisely they greatly eased the hardships of the daily everyday life of the Savior, Who, according to His own word, sometimes had no “where to lay his head.” That is, we, in the person of the holy myrrh-bearing women, glorify the best feminine qualities: selfless love, deep faith, modesty, patience and constancy in doing good.
And if we are talking about myrrh-bearing women not only in a biblical context, but also in an everyday-historical context, then, of course, every woman: grandmother, mother, wife, sister, daughter is called to this special service, to a special mission, if you like. which cannot be replaced by anything. After all, every woman is called to be a myrrh-bearer, where by peace we understand the wealth of faith and selfless love with unlimited patience - that fragrant composition that makes our sick life, distorted by passions, at least a little brighter and better.
... let's say a little about our daughters at the end. I so want them to keep that purity and good spontaneity that the Lord gave them, but not just keep it, but multiply it with their faith, obedience, diligence with constancy. Because this is precisely what makes even the youngest of our dear wives myrrh-bearers. And how can one not remember the words of the Apostle Peter:
“Let your adornment be not outward braiding of hair, not golden headdresses or finery in clothes, but a man hidden in the heart, in the incorruptible beauty of a meek and silent spirit” (1 Pet. 3: 3-4).
In a word, dear women, our daughters, sisters, wives, mothers and grandmothers! What a blessing to have you! May God grant you to keep, carry and spread patiently the precious world of faith, self-sacrificing love and patience. And perhaps, by discovering and showing the restless world the beauty and height of women's vocation and ministry, you will inspire many people, even if they are still far from the Church, to glorify the Lord. Because these people, perhaps, will see and understand that God has planned something most sublime and beautiful, joyful and holy about each of us and about all of us together! And the whole point is only to listen sensitively to this plan of God, to believe in it, to trust and, step by step, in patience and constancy, begin to put it into practice.
Priest Dimitry Shishkin
