But, many Christians believe that the body of Jesus was restored AND his soul was returned to life, in which case, Jesus would have risen from the dead and would have been hovering naked in front of Mary Magdalene, who was the first to realize that Jesus had risen.
So, that's why he told her not to touch him, because it would be improper for a woman to touch a naked man in public. Then Jesus flew away into the sky, because he was naked, in order to get some clothing and to meet the apostles in Galilee. Spirits are able to fly any where they want to and are able to hover in mid-air as long as they want to.
