This scene shows three of Jesus’s followers at his tomb. They carry jars with spices to anoint his body, according to the Jewish custom. The tomb, however, is open and visibly empty. Two angels, one sitting on the tomb, appear to the women. According to the biblical account in the Gospel of Luke they ask, ‘Why do you seek the living among the dead?’ and explain how Jesus has risen from his tomb, overcoming death.
