Spices » Prepared for embalming the corpse of jesus
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him.
Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Nicodemus (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds = 12 ounces of myrrh and aloes. Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.
