Meet Our Patrons
Our patron saints, the Myrrh Bearing Women, were the first people to see Christ’s resurrection and are therefore the first missionaries, who told the Glorious Apostles about the core truth of Christianity- The bodily resurrection of the Lord.
St Mary Magdalene
St Mary Magdalene is a popular Myrrh bearer, she is the reason that we have red eggs at Pascha!
St Susanna
St Susanna was one of the wealthy women who funded Christ’s ministry, after all missionaries don’t make a lot of money by themselves!
Mother of God
The Mother of God is referred to as “The other Mary” in Luke’s gospel, so as not to take the limelight all for herself!
St Mary the wife of Cleopas
St Mary the wife of Cleopas, she is one of Jesus’ “half sisters” because she was the daughter of St Joseph the Betrothed.
