Saint Joanna the Myrrh-bearer was the wife of Chuza, the steward of King Herod Antipas. She was cured of evil maladies by Jesus, then followed and provided for Him and His apostles. (Luke 8:1-3) She was one of the women who discovered the empty tomb on Easter morning. (Luke 24:10) Saint Joanna is known to have carried the myrrh that was to prepare Jesus at death.
