     Early on Sunday morning, the holy women went to anoint Jesus' body with embalming ointments, but they found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty! He had risen!

2) The Ascension of Jesus
     Jesus was taken up into the heavens until the disciples lost sight of Him in the clouds. As he rose, He promised to be with us all until the end of time.
