(YLT) Luk 24:1 And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain others with them,
Luk 24:2 and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,

The resurrection had already taken place prior to the sun's rising.

Which is why on Pascha we get to church around 11, and stay till around 3 AM.

Clearly it had taken place before they got to the tomb, but how much earlier? 12 hours? 3 hours? ten minutes? or two minutes?

Matthew 28:1 says: "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And Behold, there was an earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from door and sat upon it."

It appears that the resurrection is taking place as they are approaching the tomb as indicated by the earthquake, the descent of the angel, and the rolling back of the stone from the door. According to Matthew it happened as they arrived at the tomb.
