                                                                                                        Silent Saturday:

The day between the struggle and the solution; the question and the answer; the offered prayer and the answer thereof.

According to John 19:38, upon hearing of Jesus' death, this secret disciple of Jesus "asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission." Joseph(of Arimithea) immediately purchased a linen shroud (Mark 15:46) and proceeded to Golgotha to take the body of Jesus down from the cross.

There, according to John 19:39-40, Joseph and Nicodemus took the body and bound it in linen cloths with the spices that Nicodemus had bought. The disciples then conveyed the prepared corpse to a man-made cave hewn from rock in a garden of his house nearby. The Gospel of Matthew alone suggests that this was Joseph's own tomb (Matthew 27:60).
The burial was undertaken speedily, "for the Sabbath was drawing on".

We must do as Jesus did. Lie still, stay silent and trust God. Jesus died with this conviction:

“You will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay” (Acts 2:27 NIV).
