Y'know, I haven't been to Church since Easter and I'm not the best Christian in the world these days. But these attacks on the Blessed Mother are sickmaking; from what I remember in theology class, Mary isn't mentioned visiting the tomb on Easter Sunday for two reasons:
1)those who were pictured visiting the tomb where people whose faith may have faltered, and Mary's faith was not questioned by the early Christian Community, as she was the first disciple and the one who said "Serviam" to God(as opposed to Lucifer's "Non Serviam").
2)The most ancient traditions of Christendom suggest that Jesus Christ showed Himself Risen from the dead to His mother before any other disciple. In fact Augustine posited that Jesus was appearing to Mary at the same time that the other women were journeying to the tomb.

Catholic baiters have more respect for 19th century evangelists than they do for the woman who carried their Lord and Savior in her womb.

I fully believe that Jesus' mother Mary certainly DID visit His tomb, at first daylight! As any grieving mother would. She went to care for His body as a loving mother certainly would.

Only Roman Catholics believe she didn't visit His tomb.

FWIW:

Mark 16:9
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Also John 20 has Mary Magdalene speaking with Jesus, and there is no mention of Mary His mother.
