In our church women are not allowed to serve as witnesses. At every official ordinance there is a form signed that men holding the priesthood witnessed it, making the record valid. Here's my question:Two thousand years ago women could not be witnesses in court, their words held no bearing of truth that something actually happened. In such a sexist culture, Mary who held no priesthood was chosen by our Savior to be The (First) Witness to the most miraculous event ever recorded in human history. Why can't a woman serve as a witness? Even if men are the ones to complete our saving ordinances . . . why not a witness?
