"Mary was the first to see him. She would be the first to share the good news too!"
When Mary Magdalene went to visit the tomb where Jesus had been buried, she found it empty. Although angels told her Jesus had risen, Mary feared someone had taken his body away. She stayed in the garden to weep, and through her tears, she saw a man--the gardener, she assumed.
With rich illustrations, Mary and the Gardener brings to life the Easter story, told through the eyes of the first person the risen Jesus appeared to: Mary Magdalene. Inviting readers to celebrate Jesus's love, this book reminds us all that Easter marks a new start for Mary--and for everyone.
