I am testing the Saints' cycle which has been screwed up in Logos since 8.0 IIRC. I'm using the LCMS commemorations from Commemorations - Church Year - The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (lcms.org) i.e. the Lutheran Service Book.. (Yes, I'm nearly ready to get back to the tip of the day in the forums). Aug. 3 is assigned "Joanna, Mary, and Salome, Myrrhbearers". Do you know which Mary is intended? I'm not finding "which Mary" easily.

Note: List of named myrrhbearers (as I know them from Orthodox sources): Mary Magdalene; Mary, the mother of James and Joses; Mary, the wife of Cleopas; Martha of Bethany;Mary of Bethany; Joanna, wife of Chuza; Salome; Susanna; Joseph of Arimathea; Nicodemus

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
