Anointing of the Dead

By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.

She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
