From the Prologue of Ochrid

The wife of Chuza, Herod's steward. When Herod beheaded John the Baptist, he had the head cast upon an unclean place. Joanna took the head of the Baptist and buried it honorably on the Mount of Olives, on Herod's estate. Only in the time of Constantine the Great was that head discovered. Saint Joanna is mentioned as present both at the Passion and at the Resurrection of the Lord. She reposed peacefully.

“Then the emperor prayed to God with great fervor, and God revealed to him in a dream that Sampson would heal him.”
