Three woman approached the tomb before sunrise to anoint the body of Jesus with spices.
Who were these three women?
"a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side." The man told the women, "He is risen!" and instructed them to go and tell Jesus' other disciples (Mark 16:1-8).
Who was the man in long white rode?
In the society of the day, the testimony of women was held in such low regard that they were not even permitted to serve as witnesses in a court of law. How remarkable it is, then, that women were the acknowledged discoverers of Jesus' empty tomb. right?

The young man was one of two angels... a double witness to the Resurrection. In one gospel there was an angel at the head and foot of the place Jesus lay.... 2 angels... I think interestingly there was a double witness of 2 angles at the Resurrection and 2 angels at the Ascension.... it was too big a deal for 1 angel
and yes.... who would make up a story where the first witness was a not so credible woman.... and yet all the eyewitnesses help the story until death.
Mary did not really at first understand what was going on and Jesus left the situation not to angels or not so sensitive apostles who left Mary crying in the garden but appeared to her in person as she though he was the gardener at first.
wow, what a savior
the stories differ as far as number of angels and number of women and this is because they are short summaries of a larger event and because they were not meant to be taken in the same style of 21st century phtographic journalism they have their own emphsis and are not contradictory

The three women were Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of James the lesser) and Salome (nothing else is know about her)
Remarkable indeed. Jesus was the original feminist, which He proved by dealing directly with the woman who bled, the adulteress, the Samaritan woman as well as Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus.
But remember that when the women first went back and reported this, those in the upper room didn't believe them. It was only after they insisted that Peter & John ran to the empty tomb.
The young man in the white robe is traditionally thought to be an angel.

Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.
The young man was a angle.
Jesus has done More for the equality of women than anyone on the face of the earth.Praise God for what he has done!!

the priority with the tomb of Jesus became that it became no longer empty. The Talpiot tomb from with regard to the time of Jesus became discovered and had contained the bodies of Jesus, 2 Maria's. Thomas Joseph and so on. (basically like the Gnostics pronounced). the textile became squashed and great tries have been made at discrediting the very incontrovertible fact that the bones of a Jesus with the total relatives have been entombed.

Mar 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him
The man was an angel.
They were held in low esteem by the Jews and Roman authorities, but not in the Christian community, they are equal in the sight of God.

he man in the long white robe was an angel, and the women were Mary the Magdelene, another Mary, and a woman named Salome.
It is a great thing that they were acknowledged, but if you recall, they went back to the upper room and tried to tell the disciples that He had risen and they were not believed until they insisted they follow them.

In the early church women had a place of respect and were considered a "family" member. Since it was their place to prepare the body of loved ones, it was natural for them to be the first to the tomb. Since women are connected more to their hearts, and given that God is Love, of course they would be the first to see the risen Lord.
