ACT THREE - Sunday -- The VICTORY of the empty tomb!
The women came to the tomb.
Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they (angels)said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

"saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'"
