When Judah betrayed Christ to the high priests, all of His disciples ran away. Apostle Peter followed Christ to the court of the High Priest and there, we charge, that he, His disciple, renounced Him three times. All the people shouted to Pilate: "Take, take, crucify It!" (In. 19.15). When Jesus crucified the walking crowd they clapped and mocked Him. And only his mater and John's favorite student stood at the cross and the women who followed him and his students during his sermon and served saw what was happening from afar. Among them were Mary Magdalene, John, Mary the mother of Jacob, Solomon and others.
After Jesus, Joseph from Arimafei, the member of the council, but not participating in the disapproval of Jesus, exhaled, His secret disciple came to Pilate to ask the body of Iissussovo and, having received the solution, together with Nikodimom, other secret disciple of God, got it buried in the new coffin.
On the first day of the week the holy women-mironossizy, who bought aromas, came early to the coffin, so that помазать the body of Iissussovo, but saw the stone carved from the coffin and the angel who announced from it that Jesus was risen .

The god was Mary Magdaline, from whom she drove out seven devils, and asked to tell the apostles that they were waiting in Galilee. The holy women-mironossizy show us the example of true love and self-denying service to God. When everyone handed it over, they were in turn and were not frightened of possible persecution. It is no coincidence that Marija Magdaline was the first to be the Resurrected Christ. Later, according to legend, Mary Magdalina made a lot of efforts in preaching the Gospel. She has just presented the red egg to Roman Emperor Tiveriju with the words “Christus Voskress!”, which is where the Easter custom of coloring and painting the eggs came from.
