“And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre” (Mark 16:2)

God’s resurrection early in the morning compels us to direct our thoughts and senses, early in the morning, towards the resurrected Lord, who triumphed over death and all the power of the enemy, carrying, with the ladies, a humble portion of essence (perfume).
