 y there was a great earthquake\; for an angel of the Lord\, descending fro
 m heaven\, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance wa
 s like lightning\, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the gua
 rds shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women\, ‘D
 o not be afraid\; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
  He is not here\; for he has been raised\, as he said. Come\, see the plac
 e where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples\, “He has been ra
 ised from the dead\, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee\; ther
 e you will see him.” This is my message for you.'\n\n(Matthew 28:2-7\, N
 ew Revised Standard Version - Anglicized Edition)\n\nThe Collect for the S
 ervice of Light:\n\nEternal God\, who made this most holy night to shine w
