Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Jesus.

Joseph brought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus' body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock.

Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna!”“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”“Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Hosanna, God Save Us!
