CHRIST IS RISEN!

CHRSITOS VOSKRESE!

VOISTINU VOSKRESE!

The frailty OF beholders AND their gradual recognition.

Our Lord and redeemer revealed the glory of his resur­rection to his disciples gradually and over a period of time, undoubtedly because so great was the virtue of the miracle that the weak hearts of mortals could not grasp [the signifi­cance of] this all at once. Thus, he had re­gard for the frailty of those seeking him. To those who came first to the tomb, both the women who were aflame with love for him and the men, he showed the stone rolled back.Since his body had been carried away, he showed them the linen cloths in which it had been wrapped lying there alone. Then, to the women who were searching eagerly, who were confused in their minds about what they had found out about him, he showed a vision of angels who dis­closed evidences of the fact that he had risen again. Thus, with the report of his resurrection already accomplished, going ahead of him, the Lord of hosts and the king of glory himself at length appeared and made clear with what great might he had overcome the death he had temporar­ily tasted. Bede:  Homiles on the gospels 2.9.
