She was the first to see it - the resurrection. First. That's what I think.
Mary heard the risen Jesus call out her name and she knew it was the Christ. After telling her what to do, he flew up into the sky and went to meet the apostles. How do you think he got to Galilee - on a bullock cart? For Christians, the belief that Jesus miraculously returned to life after the crucifixion is the central tenet of the faith - the Nicene Creed.
