The icon depicts the Gospel events of the morning of the Resurrection. In the morning, several women from among His disciples approached the cave where the body of Jesus Christ was laid. They wanted to anoint His body with incense, precious myrrh, according to ancient custom. These women are glorified as saints and known as the Myrrh-Bearing Women.
On the way to the cave, the women worried about how they would convince the guards to let them inside and how to move the stone that blocked the entrance. At this time, the Angel of the Lord appeared before them, driving away the Roman soldiers and telling them that they should not look for “He who is with the dead... like a man,” since Christ had risen! The stone from the tomb was rolled away, the Savior’s body was no longer there.
