GARDEN TOMB



Several modern prophets have expressed feelings that this is where the Savior’s body was laid in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea after the Crucifixion.

This is a traditional site of the Savior’s burial. Several modern prophets have felt that the Savior’s body was laid in this garden tomb.

Significant Events:
After the Savior died on the cross, his body was placed in a new tomb cut out of rock (Matt. 27:57-60). On the third day, several women went to the tomb and found that the Savior’s body was not there (Matt. 28:1; John 20:1-2). The Apostles Peter and John also went to the tomb and saw that the Savior’s body was not there (John 20:2-9). The resurrected Savior appeared to Mary Magdalene (John 20:11-18).
