The day and a half that Jesus’ mortal body lay in the tomb, the period between death on the cross and resurrection, is somewhat mysterious even to the authors of this paper, which describes the burial and the activities of the followers during this time. It explains that Jesus’ death was the culmination “of twenty-five years on the cross of a real and intense mortal existence. The real value of the cross consists in the fact that it was the supreme and final expression of love, the completed revelation of mercy.” “The cross is that high symbol of sacred service, the devotion of one’s life to the welfare of others.”
