The Third of 5 Easter Miracles

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, Mary Magdelene and Mary the mother of James and Salome brought spices which they had prepared to anoint the body of Jesus, which was their custom. Then they said amongst themselves, "Who will roll away the stone?" (Mark 16:3). When they arrived they found the stone was miraculously rolled away from the opening of the tomb.

After Jesus was resurrected, it's possible that the stone was still in place outside the tomb. And later, the angel (who spoke to the women) removed it, so everyone coming to the tomb would be able to look inside and see it was empty.
