Joanna was the wife of Chuza, the steward of King Herod. She was also one of the earliest disciples of Our Lord and ministered to him during his travels. Joanna is reportedly the person who recovered the head of St. John the Baptist and gave it a proper burial after his beheading. She was with the group of women that first went to the tomb of Our Lord on Easter Sunday. Considering she was a member of King Herod's household, she did all this at great risk to her own personal safety. This devotion to St. John and to Our Lord earned her the title of saint in the early days of the Church. Joanna was never formally canonized as there was no process for canonization in place at the time of her death. Based on her own merits, she was proclaimed a saint by the early Chrisitians.
