Today we celebrate the Righteous Joseph of Arimathea. Saint Joseph was part of the Sanhedrin, but refused to take part in the council that condemned Christ to death. After the Crucifixion, Saint Joseph boldly asked Pontius Pilate for the body of Christ which he took and buried in a narrow grave, one which he had carved for himself. After the Resurrection, Saint Joseph travelled all over the known world preaching the Gospel of Christ. He reposed peacefully in Britain at an old age. May he intercede for us always + #saint #joseph #arimathea #josephofarimathea #saintjoseph #christ #jesus #jesuschrist #crucifixion #sanhedrin #counsel #counselor #christian #pilate #pontiuspilate #resurrection #preach #preacher #gospel #britain #england #repose #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Glastonbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgpmrkcv5oA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today on the Third Sunday of Pascha, we celebrate the Holy Myrrhbearing Women who bravely went to Christ's tomb very early in the morning, risking their lives in order to pay respect to Him by anointing His body with expensive perfumes. We also celebrate Saints Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus the Councillor (ex-Pharisee) who are also considered brave for their actions.

Pilate told them, “Take a guard of soldiers and make it as secure as possible.” So they went with soldiers of the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
