When you descended to death, * O Immortal
life, * then Hades You destroyed, * by the light

depths of the darkness You did raise, * all of the
heavenly powers did cry out to You. * O Giver
of Life, Christ our God, glory to You.

N THOSE DAYS, when the disciples were
increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured
against the Hebrews because their widows were
neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve
summoned the body of the disciples and said,
“it is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore,
brethren, pick out from among you seven men
of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom,
whom we may appoint to this duty. But we will
devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of
the word.” And what they said pleased the whole
multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full
of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and
Prochoros, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaos, a proselyte of Antioch. These
they set before the apostles, and they prayed and
laid their hands upon them. And the word of God
increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of
the priests were obedient to the faith.

A
t that time, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected
member of the council, who was also himself
looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and
went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and
summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he
was already dead. And when he learned from the
centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to
Joseph. And he bought a linen shroud, and taking
him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid
him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock;
and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw
where he was laid. And when the sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James,
and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go
and anoint him. And very early on the first day of
the week they went to the tomb when the sun had
risen. And they were saying to one another, “Who
will roll away the stone for us from the door of the
tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone
was rolled back; for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were
amazed. And he said to them, “Do not be amazed;
you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He
has risen, he is not here; see the place where they
laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he
is going before you to Galilee; there you will see
him, as he told you.” And they went out and fled
from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had
come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone,
for they were afraid.
o one is as good and kind as the Lord is; but He does not forgive one who does not
repent. St. Mark the Ascetic (5th century)
SUNDAY • 26 APRIL 2015 5
Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women
A
bout the beginning of His thirty-second
year, when the Lord Jesus was going
throughout Galilee, preaching and working
miracles, many women who had received of
His beneficence left their own homeland and
from then on followed after Him. They ministered unto Him out of their
own possessions, even
until His crucifixion and
entombment; and afterwards, neither losing faith
in Him after His death, nor
fearing the wrath of the
Jewish rulers, they came to
the sepulchre, bearing the
myrrh-oils they had prepared to annoint His body.
It is because of the myrrhoils, that these God-loving
women brought to the
tomb of Jesus that they are
called the Myrrh-bearers.
Of those whose names are
known are the following: first of all, the most
holy Virgin Mary, who in Matthew 27:56 and
Mark 15:40 is called “the mother of James
and Joses” (these are the sons of Joseph by
a previous marriage, and she was therefore
their step-mother); Mary Magdalene (celebrated July 22); Mary, the wife of Clopas;
Joanna, wife of Chouza, a steward of Herod
Antipas; Salome, the mother of the sons of
Zebedee, Mary and Martha, the sisters of
Lazarus; and Susanna. As for the names of
(3rd Sunday of Pascha)
the rest of them, the evangelists have kept
silence (Matt 27:55-56; 28:1-10. Mark 15:4041. Luke 8:1-3; 23:55-24:11, 22-24. John
19:25; 20:11-18. Acts 1:14).
Together with them we celebrate also
the secret disciples of the Saviour, Joseph
and Nicodemus. Of these,
Nicodemus was probably
a Jerusalemite, a prominent leader among the
Jews and of the order of
the Pharisees, learned in
the Law and instructed
in the Holy Scriptures.
He had believed in Christ
when, at the beginning of
our Saviour’s preaching of
salvation, he came to Him
by night. Furthermore, he
brought some one hundred pounds of myrrh-oils
and an aromatic mixture
of aloes and spices out of
reverence and love for the divine Teacher
(John 19:39). Joseph, who was from the city
of Arimathea, was a wealthy and noble man,
and one of the counsellors who were in Jerusalem. He went boldly unto Pilate and asked
for the body of Jesus, and together with
Nicodemus he gave Him burial. Since time
did not permit the preparation of another
tomb, he placed the Lord’s body in his own
tomb which was hewn out of rock, as the
Evangelist says (Matt. 27:60).
