The Joy of the Myrophores Christ's Resurrection is the most joyous message of Christianity, it is the happiest day for Orthodoxy, that marks eternal life. However, in Byzantine hagiography the Resurrection, the moment when Christ exits the tomb, is never depicted. There is no testimony describing the moment of this and there is no picture representing it. For the depiction of the Resurrection, images such as the angel showing the tomb in Myrofores, Saint John and Apostle Peter who bow down to the "empty" tomb, Maria Magdalene kneeling on the knees in front of Christ, the icon "The in Hades descent" and the well-known image "Hail of Myrophores", with Myrophores falling on their knees in front of Christ. The "Hail of Myrophores" adorns the Monastery of St Catherine of Sinai.
