THE PASSION

THE ENTOMBMENT

Matthew 27 : 2, 59-61

59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.

 60 And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.

 61 And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.
