The Resurrection

This picture is of the Resurrection. After Jesus' death, Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus' body and laid it in his tomb. The chief priests and the Pharisees thought that the body would be stolen so they put two guards outside of the tomb and a giant boulder. Three days later, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to go see Jesus when they saw the boulder in front of the tomb moved and an angel on top of it. The angel told the two women, "he is not here, for he has been raised just as he said...go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him'"(MT 28:6-7). After Jesus appeared to the disciples, he stayed with them for forty days then was taken into heaven.
