In the Eastern Orthodox tradition, the Myrrhbearers — the holy women who came to the tomb of Jesus on the morning of the Resurrection — hold a place of profound honor as the first witnesses of the risen Christ. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Salome, Joanna, and others who had faithfully followed Jesus throughout His ministry. Rising before dawn on the first day of the week, they made their way to the tomb carrying spices and myrrh to anoint the body of their Lord — an act of love and devotion even in the depths of grief. But when they arrived, they found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. An angel appeared and proclaimed the most glorious news in all of human history: “He is not here; he has risen!” The Myrrhbearers became the first heralds of the Resurrection — apostles to the apostles — and their courage and faithfulness are celebrated every year in the Orthodox Church on the Sunday of the Myrrhbearers.
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." — Matthew 28:6
This joyful and sacred scene is faithfully rendered in the Greek Orthodox icon tradition, printed on genuine natural rock slate. The reverent iconographic style and rich, luminous colors capture the wonder of the empty tomb and the faithful women who first received the news of the Resurrection, while the natural texture of the slate adds an authentic, earthy quality that makes every piece truly one of a kind.
