They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews. … And so, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

All the Wonders 
Congrats on having the nwpepaesr pick up your photo. It’s actually my favorite one that I saved to my hard drive. Now if I can only figure out how to make it my screen saver (I’ll have to get one of my teenagers to show me how!) Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. P.S. I have my 5 smooth stones where I can see them every morning. I think I will scavenge around for another set for my office God knows I need them there!All the best,Barbara Rook
