Easter.
Haven't got much this year; I'm severely lacking in time to pray and study alone.
And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, (bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.
Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?"
Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away...
If you look at this one way, it's the behavior of people who were following the Messiah, the son of God, and who just had Him taken away despite all their expectations. It's the behavior of people who, rather than feeling that God is with them and watching them, are grieving because He's not, and still doing their best.
And if you look at it another way-- it's the first tiny glimmerings of the stars in the sky, after the setting of the sun.
