Feast of Saint Joseph of Arimithea


Matthew 27:57 And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus Cum autem sero factum esset, venit quidam homo dives ab Arimathaea, nomine Joseph, qui et ipse discipulus erat Jesu :

58 He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered. hic accessit ad Pilatum, et petiit corpus Jesu. Tunc Pilatus jussit reddi corpus. 

59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth. Et accepto corpore, Joseph involvit illud in sindone munda, 

60 And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way. et posuit illud in monumento suo novo, quod exciderat in petra. Et advolvit saxum magnum ad ostium monumenti, et abiit.
