Latin text Angelus Domini descendit de coelo, et accedens revolvit lapidem, et super eum sedit. Et dixit mulieribus: Nolite timere: scio enim quia crucifixum quaeritis: Jam surrexit: venite, et videte locum, ubi positus erat Dominus. Alleluia.

English translation An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and rolled back the stone, and sat on it. And said to the women: Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek the crucified: He has risen: come and see the place where the Lord was lain. Alleluia.
