At first, mistaking Jesus for a gardener, Mary recognizes him as he calls her name. Mary Magdalene becomes the apostle to the apostles, being the first to proclaim to them the event of the resurrection. We then learn more about Mary Magdalene, a woman of means who traveled with Jesus, providing assistance to him and the apostles. Had the body of Jesus been stolen, these valuable linens would also have been taken by grave robbers. Sharon then focused on additional details of this passage, including how John notes that the linen facecloth was rolled up separately from the burial linens. Myrrh was used not only to anoint Jesus’ body, but it was also a gift of the Magi, showing how this oil was used at Jesus’ birth and when he was born again at the resurrection. The Catholic Chrism oil of today, prefigured in Exodus 30, contains myrrh as one of its ingredients. Sharon goes on to tell us more details about myrrh and the burial customs of first-century Israel. Jesus’ body is placed in the newly hewn tomb gifted by Joseph of Arimathea, which recalls that just as the infant Jesus was carried in the virginal womb of Mary, he was laid to rest in the untouched tomb near Golgotha.Īs Jesus passed through the walls of Mary leaving her ever-virgin, he can walk through locked doors as well.
Nicodemus brings 100 pounds of myrrh and aloe to anoint the body of Jesus in a manner truly fit for a king. Sharon begins her lecture with a look at Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, two of the individuals who played important roles after the crucifixion. This is THE event of the life of Christ, the pivotal moment when death was conquered.
