Therefore, although there is a tendency to equate this day with those women who came very early on the third day to complete the burial process, the Church also includes Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus who asked permission of Pilate to take Jesus Body down from the cross, anointed it with a mixture of myrrh and aloes, wrapped it in fine linen, and placed Him in a new tomb. Here is a traditional listing of the Myrrhbearers commemorated on the Third Sunday of Pascha: Mary Magdalene; Mary, the mother of James and Joses; Mary, the wife of Cleopas; Martha and Mary of Bethany, sisters of Lazarus; Joanna, the wife of Chuza the steward of Herod Antipas; Salome, the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee; Susanna; Joseph of Arimathea; and Nicodemus.
