Additionally, Mary, as a devout Jew, would have been observing shiva, a full week of mourning in which the immediate family of the deceased stay home,

BALONEY!!!!!

Then why did Mary Magdelene, Joanna, Salome, and Mary (the mother of James & Joses) all disciples of Jesus Christ, go to the tomb IMMEDIATELY?

Lame "rebuttals" like that do not help your cause.

I'm not familiar with the age of the tradition of sitting shiva, but the women whom you cite as visiting the tomb were not immediate family members (who are the ones who usually sit shiva).

So your citation certainly does not prove DonQ's theory false.
