In this episode, we are focusing on several different people, all of whom were also early followers of Jesus, who are listed as being present at the end of Jesus’ life. This is an episode focusing on what we know about the women who wept and sat vigil during Jesus’ death, were charged with caring for his body after his death, and who were the first to tell the world that Jesus had risen and conquered death, even before the disciples had left their hiding place.
As soon as they share this news, they pretty well disappear from the story. In the book of Acts, the disciples are mentioned as continuing to live lives of prayer “together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus.” None of the other women we had met up to this point are named in the book of Acts; not even Mary Magdalene is named. But, we give thanks for how they followed Jesus’ ministry and how their presence and naming within that story helps shape our faith today.
