Christian Teachings: Honoring Women Beyond March 8

According to the materials presented in the cited sources, it follows that from the Christian tradition’s perspective, the celebration of March 8 does not carry any special spiritual significance and is not prescribed by Christ as a means of honoring women. As noted in one source, "Christians do not need to use March 8 to pay tribute to women. All Christians speak of the great destiny of women not only on the feast days dedicated to the Mother of God, chosen for the great mission of humanity's salvation, but also during the third week of Easter, dedicated to the myrrh-bearing women. The Holy Gospel reveals to us the touching story of the all-conquering love of the myrrh-bearing women for their Divine Teacher. They were the first to be granted the special honor of witnessing the Risen Lord."

Thus, within the context of religious traditions, it is highlighted that honor and gratitude towards women are expressed not through the celebration of March 8—which carries secular and Soviet historical connotations—but through established Christian days that emphasize the roles of women in sacred history. In other words, religious teachings and traditions provide more fitting moments for expressing respect, separate from the March 8 holiday.
