On 22 July, the Orthodox church honours the memory of the first herald of the resurrection of Jesus Christ – Mary Magdalene, Holy Myrrhbearer and Equal to the Apostles. She was the first person to have exclaimed: Christ is risen!

From that moment on, Mary followed Jesus until his death, was the first to have seen his empty tomb, and to have heard the words by the resurrected Jesus.
