A WOMAN WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO DISCOVER THE EMPTY TOMB
This individual was Mary Magdalene who was from Magdala, a small fishing village on the sea of Galilee. Seven demons were exercised from her, and she became a close follower of Christ, even supporting his ministry financially (Luke 8:1-2). She was there at the cross (Mark 15:40), and according to John 20:1-18, She was the first person to discover the empty tomb on Easter Sunday, as well as see the risen Christ having mistaken him for a gardener (John 20:15). She also was the first to tell Peter and John that the tomb was empty (John 20:2). Hence, St. Thomas Aquinas gave her the title “Apostle to the Apostles” because she was entrusted by Jesus to announce his resurrection to the other disciples. The fact that the writers admit a woman was the first to discover the empty tomb gives credibility to its authenticity since women were not considered credible witnesses in that day.
