In her 2025 Easter message, Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton recalls the story of Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with nard, a powerful, pungent substance used to offset the stench of death. But the substance also signified royalty. Eaton says we discover the promise of Easter in Mary’s act: "Instead of being oil put on him to remove the stench of death, it became the anointing of a royal king. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, the usual cycle of life and death has been disrupted forever. Jesus' death and resurrection promises new life and brings us new life."
