My belief is that Mary most certainly DID go to Christ's Tomb, as would ANY loving Mother who cared for her Son. She went as soon as she possibly could go, first daylight after the Sabbath.

And this is recorded clear as day in the Bible! The fascinating thing about it is: while her visit to the Tomb is clear and visible to Christians from the Scriptures, it is completely INVISIBLE to Roman Catholics reading the same exact Scriptures!

p.s. you should know by now that the made-up "traditions" of the Roman Catholic Church hold ZERO WATER with Christians. You guys should all truly know that by now.

The fact the y'all need to go completely outside of the Bible to come up with rationales to believe in RCism, speaks volumes in itself.

First you guys try the "she was sitting shiva" excuse. Then, when that collapses, now it's "Christ told her He would be resurrected so she was off the hook to care for His corpse". After that collapses, RCC spinners will quickly come up with a THIRD alibi.

Anything but believe what the Bible clearly says.

I could use a little help here. None of the Four Gospels mention Mary the Mother of our Lord going to the tomb. Maybe I'm just a night owl like all the early Fathers of the Church, so I'll need you to show me the Scriptural reference for this.

Did you mistype? Is that BS or PS?

I'm not aware of any "made-up traditions".

P.S. Catholics ARE Christians! (The originals, in fact)

P.P.S. As to the rest of your wonderfully erudite comments, neither I, or any others (I think), on this thread can authoritatively or infallibly speak for the Catholic Church. Not everybody, including myself, is a bona fide historian, archaeologist, theologian, Scriptural exegete, etc. I can only speak for myself, but I think others would agree, sometimes we all make mistakes. Then again, maybe that "Shiva" thing is true. Chill out. It's just a stupid thread on FR supposedly about a box with bones.

My belief? Noting that I don't think the Church has bound anybody to this particular analysis, and noting that the Holy Scriptures CLEARLY don't indicate that the Mother of our Lord was at the tomb that first morning, I believe she wasn't there because she KNEW He would Rise form the dead, and in fact already did so and saw her. This is consistant with what a LOVING Son, particular if He is God, would do. The Scriptures are silent, one way or the other, on this point.
