Saint Joanna the Myrrhbearer - Iconography and Significance #1986402 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts Saint Joanna the Myrrhbearer, one of the women who followed Jesus and ministered to Him, mentioned in Luke 8:3 and Luke 24:10. She is portrayed in classic iconographic form: haloed, draped in layered robes with stylized folds, right hand raised in blessing or testimony, left holding a vessel-likely representing the myrrh used at Christ’s burial. The ornate border and lettering reflect liturgical manuscript traditions.
