This book takes us to distant and at the same time infinitely close to our hearts times, when ancient prophecies were fulfilled. In those days, Christ walked the earth with his disciples, and among them were not only the apostles, but also women. We call them myrrh-bearing women. What do we know about them, except for a few lines of the Gospel, touchingly telling about the feat of these women? Unfortunately, very little. Having collected all this little bit by bit, the famous Orthodox writer Archpriest Nikolai Agafonov tells about the life of the myrrh-bearing women in his new historical novel.
