It's beautiful, I love the raised cross with the dove above it.

The Icon is beautiful. I like yhe convenience of being able to take it to work or just to keep it at home.

A beautiful reminder of our Lord's presence.

When I first received this book, I assumed it would focus solely on the Holy Myrrhbearing Women who went to Christ’s tomb on the morning of His Resurrection. While it certainly covers that, it offers so much more.

The book is divided into three sections. The first explores the *myrrhbearers*—people, mostly women, who were close to Christ during His earthly ministry. Each figure is introduced with a brief backstory, supported by Scripture and quotes from the Church Fathers. I especially appreciated how the questions for reflection helped highlight the unique qualities of each person and made their stories feel personally relevant.

The second section delves into the time surrounding Christ’s death and resurrection, focusing on the roles each myrrhbearer played during this pivotal period.

The final section introduces us to saints whose lives exemplify the spirit of the myrrhbearers—those who lived selflessly in service to others. This was my favorite part of the book. It beautifully demonstrates how small, everyday acts of love and sacrifice can reflect the heart of a myrrhbearer. Each saint’s story is unique, yet they share a common thread: being a myrrhbearer is a daily choice to put our brothers and sisters in Christ before ourselves. And while that might sound simple, there is truly an art to living this way.

I hope you’ll read this book and find it as inspiring as I did.

Great Read from an incredible author!

Love the hardcover but the pages are very thin. But the most important thing is the explanation and deeper dive into the material, which I love; it makes reading the Bible easier to comprehend.

Good Service. Great work guys.

Beautiful book in both words and illustrations!

I absolutely love this Orthodox Study Bible Leather soft. I love holding it, it smell great, it looks beautiful, and is truly a holy book. The iconography inside is essential and are beautifully printed in gorgeous rich color. Ever since it arrived I am drawn to its beauty and the knowledge that is inside. It guides the reader with liturgical notes from Saints and honored members of the church like they are reading the text with you. Keeping you in total harmony with the understand of the Fathers.

My son Loved his gift!!! Thank you!

the prayer beads were for the graduates of our First Holy Confession class. the boys received ones with a wooden cross, the girls' had a tassel. great way for helping remind them of the prayers they learned in class.

Beautiful and my wife loves it!

I gave the egg to a young woman who is graduating from college this spring. It made an ideal start for her "collection" as she grows older.

My daughter recently started myrrh bearing at church. I didn't really know what that meant. I knew I'd read about myrrh bearers but how did the relate to our services today? This book was a wonderful explanation of something that I assumed was just an anointing at a burial. Yet Elissa does a wonderful job of showing the rejoicing at birth (in Christ) that happens, the symbolism of something profound, and the way we can apply it to our lives. I'd love to do a group work with this book with the excellent end of chapter reflections. We were able to discuss with our 8 year old daughter to help her understand the deep meaning behind what myrrh bearing was. Thanks for this book!

These books are incredibly well written, they reveal deeper truths to adults but can also be understood by children.

Beautiful icon to share

These cards are simple, yet elegant. I am pleased with the purchase.

A little heavier than I expected

serenely beautiful vocal sounds

So often I'm looking for a small notecard to write a kind word of thanks. I love the almond-budded cross, and the notes are just the right size for a brief note.

Perfect book for Divine Liturgy
