Jesus' Body is Laid in the Tomb
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who was himself a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be handed over. Taking the body, Joseph wrapped it [in] clean linen and laid it in his new tomb that he had hewn in the rock. Then he rolled a huge stone across the entrance to the tomb and departed.
Matthew 27: 57-60
 "Unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit."
~John 12:24-25
The death that Christ died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives unto God. Thus do you consider yourselves also as dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
~Romans 6:10-11
Christ rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures.
1st Corinthians 15:3-4
