And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. And they said one to another …

Today the Church stands still before the Cross of her Lord. The altar is stripped, the lamp before the tabernacle extinguished, the Mass is not offered. Everything speaks of mourning.
