Magdalena
Language: German (Deutsch)
An dem österlichen Tag Maria Magdalena ging zu dem Grab; was fand sie in dem Grabe stehn? Einen Engel wohlgetan. Der Engel grüsst sie in der Zeit: "Den da suchet das vielselige Weib, er ist erstanden von dem Tod, den du salben wolltest". "Maria!" ruft er ihr zu hant, da erkennt sie ihren Heiland, sie sah in aller der Gebärde, sann er ein Wärter wäre.
