Walking with the Women at Easter
On the morning of the first day of the week, fear kept the disciples locked up in the Supper Room, but the women who had followed Jesus did not seek to escape, though their hopes were dashed. They set out "while it was still dark" and "came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared" (Lk 24:1) in an attempt to snatch from death something of its victory.
