the Women came at early dawn to Thy Tomb, O Christ, yet they did not find Thy Body, so precious to them. And while they were perplexed, behold! there stood amidst them those in shining clothes who said : Why do you seek the Living among the dead? He has Risen as He foretold. Why have you forgotten His Words? And being assured by these words, they preached to the Disciples the Things they had witnessed. But their Glad Tidings were received with ridicule; for they were still without Understanding. But Peter hastened to behold, and Glorified Thy Wonders in himself.
