This is when Mary Magdalene approached the empty tomb where Christ was buried and where she found his body not there. This is moments before she knew that. She sees the stone rolled away and perhaps is starting to feel some anxiety that something is wrong. This story is so beautiful. As far as we know, she was the first to see the risen Lord.
We are viewing from the tomb out to the world where a woman in a cream and blue dress is approaching. The tomb is empty and a round stone is on the right side of the frame. Everything in the tomb is dark and silhouetted. There are stairs leading up from the tomb. It is a bright spring morning with trees behind the woman.
