Now. The edicule stands over the tomb. The church is shared, crowded, and often under repair. The Resurrection is not a mood about an empty room. It is the confession that He is risen, which the Apostles preached before any basilica was built.Then. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus lay the body in a new tomb in a garden close to the place of crucifixion, because the sabbath is about to begin. On the first day Mary Magdalene finds the stone taken away. She sees the risen Lord and does not know Him until He says her name.
