The angel went to the tomb and rolled back the massive stone, something that would have taken the strength of many men. Then he sat on top of the stone.

At dawn Mary Magdalene met with another woman named Mary and a woman named Joanna. Carrying spices to anoint the body of Jesus, they left after sunrise and made their way toward the tomb.
