The Fourteenth Station: Jesus is Laid in the Tomb

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. John Chapter 19, Verses 38 to 40 After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body. Nicodemus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds’ weight. They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
