The third Sunday after Pascha is observed by the Orthodox Church as the Feast of the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women. Few people, mostly women, stood at the cross and witnessed Christ's crucifixion and death. On the third day, at dawn, the myrrh-bearing women went to the tomb to anoint Christ's body with incense, but instead of a lifeless body they found an empty tomb. As the women wondered what this meant, an angel appeared proclaiming that Christ had risen from the dead: “Why do you seek the living one among the dead. How could you have thought for a moment that He is the hostage of death? Do you not know that he is the principal of life? Rejoice!”.
In the Gospels, women play a central role as eyewitness at Jesus' death, entombment, and in the discovery of the empty tomb. The myrrh-bearing women had no idea of the coming Resurrection and the victory over death. They stood at the Cross only because of their love for Christ, beheld Him and co-suffered with Him.October 27 marks the 165th anniversary of the birth of Academician Aleksandar Teodorov-Balan, who was the first theorist of the Bulgarian literary language, phonetics and grammar.
