From the Gospel of St. John

They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, following the Jewish burial custom. At the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in this garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried. since it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was near at hand, they laid Jesus there. (Jn. 19:40-42)
