Read the Story

Early in the morning, two women named Mary went to Jesus' tomb. There was a big earthquake! An angel came down and rolled away the stone.

The angel said, "Don't be afraid." He said Jesus was not there. Jesus had risen, just like He said!

The women ran with joy to tell the disciples. On the way, they met Jesus! They worshiped Him. Jesus is alive!
