Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 28:8
Hilary of Poitiers · c. A.D. 310–367
“The same order as of old now followed in the reversal of our woe, that whereas death began from the female sex, the same should now first see the glory of the Resurrection, and be made the messenger thereof. Whence the Lord adds, Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there shall they see me.”
