Known as Joanna the Myrrhbearer. 1st century lay woman. Married to Chusa, steward of King Herod Antipas. Disciple of Jesus, and mentioned in Luke (8.3) as providing for Jesus and the Apostles. Eastern tradition says that she gave the head of John the Baptist an honorable burial. One of the women Luke says (24.10) discovered the empty tomb on the first Easter when she went to anoint the body.
