Tell Her Story: The Women at the Cross

At the two events that matter most, the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, women were the last and the first followers present.

They also feature at significant points in the gospels:

  • Women featured significantly in Jesus’ ’support team’ (Luke 8:1-3)

  • A woman anointed Jesus at a meal in Bethany, preparing for his burial

  • A woman urged Pontius Pilate to stand against the power of the mob

  • Women stood at the feet of the cross

  • A woman was first to arrive at the tomb

  • A woman was first to witness the resurrection
