Answer:

"The Resurrection of Christ"

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene found the tomb empty, and informed Peter. She then saw two angels, after which Jesus himself appeared to her. In the evening, Jesus appeared to the other followers, followed by another appearance a week later.

Some people may question if this really happened, but there is proof that it did. Jesus certainly died. We know this from the testimony of witnesses — not only His followers but also His enemies among the Jews and the Romans.Anyone in Jerusalem at the time could have visited the tomb and verified that it was empty. Jesus’ followers are recorded to have spread the story of the resurrection very soon after it happened. Yet we have no accounts from the time claiming that the disciples were caught in a lie — that Jesus’ body was still buried and could prove that He was still dead, or that He had never been buried. The Bible records that the first people to see that Jesus had risen from the dead were women. The fact that followers of Jesus claim that the first witness to the living Jesus were women is, perhaps surprisingly, evidence that the account is true.

At that time in Jewish culture, the testimony of a woman was not highly esteemed. If the disciples had made it all up and wanted to present a believable and convincing argument, they probably would have claimed that a man, and likely a prominent man, was the first to see Jesus.
