Religion: He Is Risen

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early, in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. . . . And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them,

Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen. . . . (St. Mark, 16: 1-6).

Last Sunday, in Christian churches throughout the world, the Easter story was retold for the 1900th-odd year. It was still news.
