Saturday was a day of mourning, reflection, and fear. A day of silence.

Sunday started that way, but became a day of celebration!

The Sabbath is over, so the travel restrictions are lifted. Two Mary's saw where Jesus had been buried, and along with Salome wanted to be the ones who finished the burial ceremony - to complete what had been started on Friday afternoon. They had seen the stone rolled in front of the entrance to the tomb, but they must have been hoping that someone would be there to help. Had they heard about the Roman guards being placed there, so maybe they would help while keeping watch?
