Explanation: On Sunday of the Passion Week, on the morning of the Resurrection, an earthquake struck near Christ's tomb, and an angel descended and rolled the stone from the tomb. The soldiers guarding the tomb collapsed in fear. But, as we will see in Section 157, the women who were there were reassured by the angel and sent to tell the disciples of Jesus' resurrection.

Section 155
Matthew 28:2-4
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
