English translation An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and rolled back the stone, and sat on it, and said to the women: Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek the crucified: He has risen: come and see the place where the Lord had lain. Alleluia. And they went into the tomb, and saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in white robes, and stopped; and he said to them: Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek the crucified: He has risen: come and see the place where the Lord had lain. Alleluia. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
