This beautifully crafted Orthodox icon of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women is created using the traditional lithography technique, with a double varnish layer for enhanced water resistance and lasting durability. The icon undergoes handmade artificial aging, giving it a timeless, antique appearance that reflects the sacred beauty of Byzantine iconography. Produced by an artisan trained in the Monasteries of Mount Athos, this icon represents the highest standards of Orthodox Christian craftsmanship.
The Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women were devout followers of Christ who came to His tomb early on the first day of the week, bringing myrrh and spices to anoint His body. They are regarded as the first witnesses of the Resurrection and the first to proclaim the good news of Christ's victory over death. Among the most prominent are Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, Salome, and others. Their unwavering devotion and courage remain a profound example of faith for all Christians. The Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women is celebrated on the third Sunday of Pascha in the Orthodox Church.
In Orthodox iconography, the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women are often depicted approaching Christ’s empty tomb, holding vessels of myrrh and gazing with reverence at the angel who proclaims the Resurrection. Their serene expressions and graceful postures symbolize their deep faith and love for the Lord. The icon reminds the faithful of the power of courage, dedication, and unwavering faith in Christ.
This Orthodox icon of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women can be displayed on a wall or placed on a flat surface, making it a spiritually enriching addition to any prayer corner or sacred space. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the Resurrection of Christ, the faithfulness of His followers, and the eternal hope found in the Gospel message.
