Luke 23:55

Galilee
Faithfulness and loyalty

53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

56 Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
