"Easter Sunday"

The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week
was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a
great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord,
descending from heaven, came and rolled
back the stone and sat on it.
His appearance was like lightning,
and his clothing white as snow.
For fear of him the guards shook and
became like dead men.
 But the angel said to the women,
"Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking
for Jesus who was crucified.
He is not here;
for he has been raised, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples,
'He has been raised from the dead, and indeed
he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.'
Behold, I have told you."
So they left the tomb quickly, fearful yet overjoyed,
and ran to announce this to his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
And they came to him, took hold of his feet,
and worshiped him.
Then Jesus said to them,
"Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers
to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
Matthew 28:1-10
