On this day, the third Sunday reckoned from Pascha, we celebrate the feast of the holy Myrrh-bearing Women. Furthermore, we commemorate Joseph of Arimathea, who was a secret disciple; and also Nicodemos, the disciple by night.

Verses
The women disciples brought ointments to Christ.
And I bring, as ointment, a hymn to them.

At the intercession of the holy Myrrh bearers, O God, have mercy on us. Amen.
