Sunday of the Myrrh bearing women

Scripture readings

• Epistle: The Reading is from Acts 6:1-7
  


• Gospel: The Reading is from Mark 15:43–16:8
  

On the Second Sunday after Pascha we remember the Myrrh bearing women.

They arrived at the tomb to anoint the body of Christ only find the tomb was empty.

It was they who first bough the joyful news of Christ's resurrection.

St Joseph of Arimathea, who provided the tomb for Christ's body and St Nicodemus are also commemorated this day.
