By Elissa Bjeletich Davis, Orthodox writer and podcaster.
This lovely book gives insight into the original Gospel myrrhbearers as well as those who have emulated their caring service. It combines engaging stories of each individual with deeper theology about the meaning of bearing myrrh. Each chapter ends with thought-provoking questions for contemplation.
Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery will be hosting a women's retreat by the author on "Becoming Myrrhbearers" in May 2027 for our 50th anniversary. Reading this book could be good preparation for those who plan to attend the retreat, or a source of personal reflection for those not able to join.
