The first person to come to the tomb was Mary Magdalene.
It was after Easter.
It is Christ the lord has risen today.
We can encounter the risen Lord through prayer, the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), reading and studying the Scriptures, and through acts of service and love towards others.
The answer can be found in John 20:16. After Jesus rose from the dead, Mary was the first person to see him, but at first she thought he was a gardener. But then, when he called her by name, she realized it was him.

The first person to see the risen Christ was Mary Magdalene. According to the Gospel accounts, she encountered the resurrected Jesus early on the morning of the third day after his crucifixion while visiting his tomb. Jesus appeared to her and instructed her to inform the disciples of his resurrection.
John first recognized Jesus. (John 21:7) Therefore that disciple whom Jesus used to love said to Peter: "It is the Lord!" Hence Simon Peter, upon hearing that it was the Lord, girded about himself his top garment, for he was naked, and plunged into the sea.
