Angelus autem Domini descendit de caelo,
et accedens revoluit lapidem, et sedet super eum.
Alleluia.
Et ecce terremotus factus est magnus.
Erat autem aspectu eius sicut sulgur
vestimenta autem eius sicut nix.
Alleluia.

For the angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Alleluia.
And behold, there was a great earthquake.
His countenance was like lightning,
and his raiment white as snow:
Alleluia.
