'''Joanna the Myrrh-Bearer''', the wife of Chouza, the steward-administrator of King Herod Antipas, is listed in [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 8:3 as one of the women who followed [[Christ]] from Galilee and supported the [[disciple]]s, along with [[Susanna the Myrrh-bearerBearer|Susanna]], [[Mary Magdalene]], and others. In Luke 23:55-24:11, we have the story of how these same women went to the tomb to finish the job of embalming Jesus' body, which was hastily begun by [[Joseph of Arimathea|Joseph]] and [[Nicodemus the Righteous|Nicodemus]]. They were perplexed when they found the tomb empty except for the grave clothes. The [[angel]] appeared unto them and proclaimed the [[Resurrection]]. They believed and became the first evangelists of the risen Christ. The Church celebrates her [[feast day]] on [[June 27]], as well as on the [[Sunday of Myrrh-bearing Women|Sunday of the Myrrh-bearers]].
