On the first day of the week after the crucifixiion, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James went to the tomb prepared with spices to anoint Jesus' body. They found the stone rolled away and two angels at the entrance of the tomb, told the women that Jesus was not among the dead, but the living-He had risen as it was written about. Mary Magdalene went to inform the disciples. Peter and John ran to the tomb- both saw Jesus' grave clothes that no longer contained the crucified Christ, lying empty of a body, but still lying in their original folds, untouched by human hands,
as fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 53:10-12 and Psalm 16:10 and 49:15.
