and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very
early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the
tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the
entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up. they saw that the stone, which
was very large. had been rolled away, As they entered the tomb, they saw a
young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were
alarmed. “Don be alarmed,” he said.” You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,
who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid
him. But go. tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee.

Thinking he was the gardener. she said. “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me
where you hate put him, and | will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned
toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” {which means Teacher). Jesus
said. “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to
my brothers and tell them. ‘! am returning to my Father and your Father, to my
God and your God.’ Mary of Magdaia went to the disciples with the news: “I have
seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. (John

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could
count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne
and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding
patm branches in their hands. And they cried out in 2 loud voice: “Salvation
belongs to our God. who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” All the angels
were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living
creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God.

There you will see him, just as he told you." Trembling and bewildered, the
women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because
they were afraid. (Mark 16:1-8)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal tife. For God did not send his
Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned. but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and
onty Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved
darkness instead of tight because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil When death is near, one or both of the tollowing Cantcles may be satd or sung.

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went
to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she
came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and
said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they
have put him!” So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were
running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent
over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then
Simon Peter, who was behind him. arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the ane - - oo

disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
(They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the
dead.) Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the
tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two
angels in white. seated where Jesus’ bods had been. one at the head and the
