Sunday of the Myrrhbearers Resource Page

On this day, the third Sunday of Pascha, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Myrrhbearing women; and we also commemorate Joseph of Arimathea, who was a secret disciple, and also Nikodemos, who was a disciple by night.

Verses

The women disciples bring myrrh unto Christ.

And I bring a hymn as it were myrrh unto them?
