Saint Mark the Evangelist describes how Mary Magdalene, Mary Cleophas and Mary Salome went to the tomb after Christ’s burial in
order to anoint the dead body. When they arrived at the tomb they saw that the stone had been rolled away and were told by an angel that
Christ had risen. From within the cave, where the tomb was placed, we see the three women standing in the entrance, with a view of a city, probably Jerusalem, in the background.
