Mary Magdalene was at Jesus burial, and she is the only person that all
four Gospels say was first to realize that Jesus had risen. John 20 and
Mark 16:9 specifically name her as the first person to see Jesus after
his Resurrection. Luke 23:55 states: "the women who had come with Jesus
from Galilee" - the women were Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary", who
in Mark is "the mother of James". They were the first to see the risen
Jesus.

Where else do you think a risen "Christ" would be, if not hovering in
the air - lying on the ground? Go figure.
