Return to 167 Holy Sepulchre
Stone of Unction
This is the traditional location where Jesus' followers prepared His body for burial. "57 When the even was come,
there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 58 He went to Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had
taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn
out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed." (Matthew 27:57-60)
