Dear women, we congratulate you on Orthodox Women's Day!
This is the holiday of a woman's heart. Holy Myrrh-bearers loved the Lord with all their hearts, followed Him, listened to Him, served Him. Why didn't the Lord appear to the Apostles after the Resurrection? Women's hearts know all the great, mysterious, holy things much easier than men's, coarser hearts. The Lord knew that the Myrrh-bearers would believe much easier, that is why He appeared to them first.
St. Luke the Blessed Surgeon
