  1. Empty tomb

    The empty tomb is the Christian tradition that the tomb of Jesus was found empty after his crucifixion. The canonical gospels are consistent on the incident, with variations, of the visit of women to Jesus' tomb. Although Jesus' body had been laid out in the tomb after crucifixion and death, the tomb is found to be empty, the body gone, and the women are told by angels (or a "young man") that he has risen. The gospel accounts are based on earlier oral traditions.

  1. Empty tomb

    In Christianity, the empty tomb is the tomb of Jesus that was found to be empty by the women myrrhbearers who had come to his tomb to carry out their last devotions to Jesus' body by anointing his body with spices and by pouring oils over it. All four canonical gospels report the incident with significant variations. Jesus' body was laid out in the tomb after crucifixion and death. All the gospels report that women were the first to discover the Resurrection of Jesus. The first hint that something had happened was the rolled-away stone. This stone, as was typical of ancient tombs, had covered the entrance. They found the tomb to be empty, the body gone, and a young man or angel within the tomb or on the rolled-away stone tells the women that Jesus has risen. These accounts lead to beliefs concerning the Resurrection of Jesus, with many Resurrection appearances of Jesus. The empty tomb points to the revelation of Jesus' resurrection, implicitly in the canonical Gospel of Mark and explicitly in the other three canonical gospel narratives.
