Based on Mark Chapter 16, here's an outline of the events that occurred on Sunday, the day following Good Saturday (the Sabbath):

Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome visit the tomb:

Early in the morning on the first day of the week (Sunday), the three women, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, come to the tomb where Jesus was buried (Mark 16:1).
Discovery of the empty tomb:

Upon arriving at the tomb, the women see that the large stone covering the entrance has been rolled away (Mark 16:4).
They enter the tomb and find that Jesus' body is not there (Mark 16:5).
Encounter with a young man in white:

Inside the tomb, the women encounter a young man dressed in a long white robe, who tells them not to be alarmed (Mark 16:5).
The young man announces to the women that Jesus has risen from the dead (Mark 16:6).
Instructions from the young man:

The young man instructs the women to go and tell Jesus' disciples, including Peter, that Jesus has risen and will meet them in Galilee (Mark 16:7).
Reaction of the women:

The women flee from the tomb in fear and amazement, trembling and astonished by what they have witnessed (Mark 16:8).
Mary Magdalene's encounter with Jesus:

Mark 16:9-11 describes how Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.
Mary Magdalene goes and tells the disciples that she has seen the Lord, but they do not believe her (Mark 16:9-11).
This outline summarizes the events described in Mark Chapter 16, focusing on the resurrection of Jesus and the reactions of the women who first discover the empty tomb and encounter the risen Lord.
