The Tomb is Empty; He is Risen

"The Holy Women at the Tomb," painted in 1876 by the William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Small synopsis on this biblical event 👇

Early on the first day of the week, some women—Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, among a couple others—went to Jesus' tomb to anoint His body. When they arrived, they were shocked to find the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. Inside, a young man dressed in white told them that Jesus had risen. Meanwhile, the disciples were hiding in fear, too afraid to visit the tomb themselves. These women were the first witnesses of the resurrection, carrying the incredible news that changed history. **This message was entrusted to these women despite the cultural consensus of the time which did not have women as reliable witnesses, not even in court.
