Significance of Tomb
After his crucifixion, Jesus is buried in a tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea. By taking Jesus’s body to bury, Joseph publicly claims his allegiance to Jesus, plus burying a criminal in the tomb makes it unclean. When Mary Magdalene visits the tomb three days after Jesus’s crucifixion, she finds it empty, indicating his resurrection as he prophesied.
