and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and one at the feet — the two angels positioned at head and feet recall the mercy seat/cherubim arrangement in the Holy of Holies, suggesting Jesus' body as the place of divine presence. Mary's vision of angels (unlike the male disciples' entrance into the empty tomb) signals her privileged access to heavenly testimony. The color white (leukoi) represents resurrection glory and eschatological transformation.
