The empty tomb is the Christian tradition that the tomb of Jesus was found empty after his crucifixion. [1] The canonical gospels each describe the visit of women to Jesus' tomb. Although Jesus' body had been laid out in the tomb after crucifixion and death, the tomb is found to be empty, the body gone, and the women are told by angels (or a ...
While the coherence of the empty tomb narrative is questionable, it is "clearly an early tradition."

Women at the tomb: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome go to the tomb, where the stone has been rolled away. [1] Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary" go to the tomb. [2] "The women who had come with him from Galilee" [3] find the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. [4] Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb and finds the stone ...
The Lost body Hypothesis tries to explain the empty tomb of Jesus by a naturally occurring event, not by resurrection, fraud, theft or coma. Only the Gospel of Matthew (28:2) [1] mentions a 'great earthquake' on the day of Jesus' resurrection.
