St. Nikolai of Zicha on the Myrrhbearers
…When our great Lord and God dies as a man, bowed down by men’s sins, who cares for Him dead, of all those for whom He has cared from all eternity? Who visits His tomb? Who shows love for the Dead? Women. Not each and every woman, but the Myrrh-Bearing Women, whose souls had been anointed by the immortal love of Christ the Lord.
