Welcome to another edition of Things Unseen.

This week we've been walking away from the garden tomb, as it were, and reflecting on the experience of some of the people we meet on Easter Sunday.

all give us every single detail, it's sometimes difficult to piece the picture together.

That's actually quite natural, and a confirmation that these are authentic accounts. So there are some details in

one gospel that aren't in the others. And perhaps like me, you've sometimes been struck by

and he said to them, Do not be alarmed.
