Because:

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
Matt. 27:52

I believe resurrection happened.
That is a good point (that brings up some confusion). From what I understand, this was considered the fulfillment of the feast of First Fruits:

This happened in order that Jesus, the High Priest, could present them (the saints) to the Father as a firstfruits offering after He had risen from the dead and in order to fulfill the Feast of Firstfruits on the 18th of Nisan, just after the weekly Sabbath (Lev. 23:9-14)

When Mary saw Jesus, after mistaking Him for the gardener (John 20:15-17), she was not allowed to touch Him. Why was this? It was because Jesus had not yet fulfilled the Feast of Firstfruits by ascending to the Father to present Himself, and those who were the firstfruits of the resurrection, as an offering to the Father.

1 Corinthians 15:20-24 ~
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the first fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
