APRIL 15 RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!
On Sunday morning, three days after the death and burial of Christ, some women went very early, as soon as it was light, to the tomb in the garden. One of these women was Mary Magdalene, another was also named Mary and another was name Salome. They were bringing some more fragrant spices to place in the wrappings upon the body of Jesus. As they went, they said to each other. "Who will roll away for us the great stone at the door of the cave?" But when they came to the cave, they saw that the seal was broken, the stone was rolled away and the soldiers who had been on guard were gone. There was the tomb of Jesus open! They did not know that before they came to the tomb, there had been an earthquake and that an angel had come down from heaven and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. The soldiers had already fled. Looking into the tomb, they saw that the body of Jesus was not there. But, sitting at each end of the tomb, they saw two young men, clothed in long white garments. Their faces shone, and seeing them, the women were filled with fear.
Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
