CHAPTER LII

CHAPTER LII.
The Body of our Lord placed in the Sepulchre.
The men placed the sacred body on a species of leathern hand-barrow, which they covered wit a brown-coloured cloth, and to which they fastened two long stakes.

This forcibly reminded me of the Ark of the Covenant.

Nicodemus and Joseph bore on their shoulders the front shafts, while Abenadar and John supported those behind.

After them came the Blessed Virgin, Mary of Heli, her eldest sister, Magdalen and Mary of Cleophas, and then the group of women who had been sitting at some distance--Veronica, Johanna Chusa, Mary Salome, Salome of Jerusalem, Susanna, and Anne the niece of St.Joseph.Cassius and the soldiers closed the procession.

The other women, such as Marone of Naim, Dina the Samaritaness, and Mara the Suphanitess, were at Bethania, with Martha and Lazarus.
