The Burial of Jesus
Archaeological investigation has confirmed a single chamber tomb carved into a limestone hill during the 1st century. Further, recent restoration work found a stone bench consistent with an arcosolium tomb from the Roman period was protected underneath the decorative marble slab. The tomb was originally sealed with a large circular stone. This aligns with the Gospel’s description of Jesus’ tomb.
