April 22, 2022 — Day of the Myrrh-Bearing Women
The Day of the Myrrh-Bearing Women, celebrated on the third Sunday (fifteenth day) after Easter, is a traditional Orthodox general women's holiday with a long history.
The holy myrrh-bearers - courageous women who followed Jesus to Calvary - were faithful disciples of Christ, assistants in preaching and witnesses of His suffering on the cross. They did not leave Him even after the crucifixion. Their faith was rewarded. It was the myrrh-bearing women who were the first to hear the news of the resurrection of Jesus, when they came to the tomb in the morning to anoint his body with myrrh. The image of these women has become a collective one, so on this holiday they congratulate all the women of the world, glorify women’s sacrifice, fidelity and devotion, as well as pure faith and bright, selfless love.

Poem
We remember the beautiful women who reached Golgotha with Christ. And to the world, as bequeathed by the Savior, the news of the resurrection was conveyed.
We celebrate the Day of the Myrrh-Bearers in the spring, a spiritual holiday of female purity. And women are especially revered on the day of the wives of those noble and saints.
Pray with us, myrrh-bearing women, ask for forgiveness for us, let our prayer reach God. And He will show us mercy in difficult times.

The Feast of the Myrrh-Bearing Women is surrounded by a haze of light, On this day wreaths were woven, And scrambled eggs were baked, And for the women the day was as if it was a day off, They visited the guests, Everyone amused each other! And today I will congratulate you from the bottom of my heart, Relax and have fun, Let life be beautiful!
Verse Author
Day of the Myrrh-Bearers - Orthodox Women's Day. A pious wife will always be covered by a host of myrrh-bearing women. Witnesses of the Savior going to the cross. They were the first to know - Christ has risen!
The Holy Church honors them tirelessly; we see their images on icons. It is glorious to live in purity with one husband, the canons of Orthodoxy dictate.
In life, the myrrh-bearer is anyone. Any woman is the support and foundation of the family. Bringing peace to the world is a woman’s destiny. And revive it in all its greatness again!

This day is especially revered, In Russia even now, But not many of us remember the essence of such a day.
This is the day of the myrrh-bearing women, who, having preserved their faith, served God and Christ without sparing themselves.
So I congratulate all those who carry peace within themselves! Whoever carefully preserves his family does not cast a spell on fate!
After all, a woman is like the world herself, Keeps warmth and comfort. Patience, her love, will grind out all troubles!
Verse Author
Out of love for the Savior they accepted him into their home, and then they lovingly escorted him to his execution. They prayed at the Holy Sepulcher every day, and the myrrh-bearing women were convinced of the miracle. After all, they were the first to know that Christ had risen! The enemies all came running with personal interest. He appeared to Mary after a burning death, He forgave all the traitors for the shackled nets. And on the feast of the myrrh-bearers, light one candle, And pray for a Russian, Christian wife, Live piously and with faith in your soul, And with memory of the Savior, the Holy Father. Be faithful, patient and merciful, there will not be such a holy wife on earth then!
Verse Author
There are many glorious myrrh-bearing women in the great and holy history, They were all ready to give up in order to defend the truth with themselves.
Even today we need to try, To conquer evil with untruth, To remain good forever, To give to the world without reserve.
We will live like Mother Teresa, Let us fill this world with warmth, Let goodness outweigh the cup, May mercy be our idol!
Verse Author
Today we will remember the myrrh-bearing women who received Jesus in their homes, who went to Golgotha for him, and looked for him after the Resurrection.

Saint Theophan the Recluse. Thoughts for every day of the year
Tireless wives! Sleep was not given to the eyes and eyelids until they found the Beloved! And the men seem to rest their feet: they go to the coffin, see it empty, and remain at a loss as to what this means, because they have not seen Himself. But does this mean that they had less love than their wives? No, here was reasoning love, afraid of error because of the high price of love and its subject. When they saw and touched, then each of them confessed not with his tongue, like Thomas, but with his heart: “My Lord and my God,” and nothing could separate them from the Lord.
The myrrh-bearers and the apostles are an image of two sides of our life: feelings and reasoning. Without feeling, life is not life; without reasoning, life is blind, it wastes a lot, but produces little healthy fruit. We need to combine both. Let the feeling move forward and excite; let reasoning determine the time, place, method, and in general the everyday structure of what the heart hints to do. Inwardly the heart moves forward, but in practice it is reasoning. When the feelings become trained in the reasoning of good and evil, then, perhaps, it will be possible to rely on the heart alone; just as shoots, flowers and fruits come of themselves from a living tree, so from the heart only goodness begins to arise, intelligently invested throughout our life.

The second week of Easter has already passed, and today is the third Easter “week” (Sunday), which in the Orthodox liturgical Calendar is entitled “Week of Myrrh-Bearing Women” (i.e. “Week of Women Bearing Myrrh”). The names of seven women known to us from the gospel narrative, who are traditionally ranked among the “myrrh-bearers,” are also listed here.
This is Mary Magdalene, healed by Jesus Christ from a terrible illness; Mary of Cleova, mother of James and Josiah; Salome, wife of the fisherman Zebedee and mother of the apostles James and John the Theologian; Joanna, wife of Chuza, steward of King Herod Antipas; Martha and Mary, sisters of Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus Christ, whom He raised from the dead shortly before His ceremonial Entry into Jerusalem; and also Susanna, about whom we know nothing. The evangelists also mention “many other” women from Galilee who served Jesus and came with Him to Jerusalem for His last Passover. But history has not even preserved their names for us.
The myrrh-bearers, these simple women, not distinguished by either nobility or education, often accompanied Jesus Christ and His disciples on missionary journeys, hosted them, trying to help with everything that a caring housewife and mother could help. Without a doubt, they understood even less than the apostles (before the Day of Pentecost) the ultimate meaning of the coming and saving acts of the Messiah-Christ: for them He was, first of all, the son of their early widowed friend Mary, who chose the difficult and thankless path of a wandering teacher ( rabbi). But they surpassed the apostles in their love and loyalty. Let us remember that the future pillars of the Church, considering the cause of their Teacher “lost,” fled in fear from the night Garden of Gethsemane and did not even honor the last minutes of His earthly life at Golgotha. Of these, only the young Apostle John remained at the foot of the Cross, not caring for fears of his own safety. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. <…> He who fears is imperfect in love,” he will write later (1 John 4:18).
Standing at the Place of Execution and looking at the terrible torment of the Crucified One, the myrrh-bearing women consoled the unfortunate Mother, who was in a semi-fainting state, and then led a modest funeral procession to the cave (Matt. 27:61). Like everyone else, they were forced to observe the festive Sabbath rest and could not wait to pay the last debt of love to the son of their grief-stricken friend - to anoint His tormented body with fragrant and embalming substances (myrrh), thereby completing the task of a hasty burial on the eve of the Jewish Easter. With these incense they went in the pre-dawn darkness to the Tomb, not yet knowing that a great reward awaited them there - to be the first to hear from the angels about the Resurrection of the Savior and to announce this incredible joy to the apostles (Luke 24:22-23). This is a reward for love and loyalty, higher than which there is nothing in the world. It is not surprising that the day of the Myrrh-Bearing Women is often called the holiday of the Christian Woman.
