....and on the notion that resurrection might be harder with a heavy stone on top of the grave. Ah, the incongruity of "pious" folk tales! If the very heavy, sealed stone closing Christ's tomb could be rolled away by an unseen, omnipotent Hand, sparing the myrrhbearing women the trouble of doing it themselves .... http://www.monachos.net/forum/images/smilies/smile.png

You know, our Lord had no trouble with a heavy gravestone when the time came for His Resurrection. I don't see why it would be a problem for those who have put on Christ and thus are buried with Him that we might be raised with Him.
