_Gerome, Plate 153,_ has given the most weird and graphic representation of the deserted hill and the doomed city. The supernatural darkness is passing. A flood of lurid light pours upon Calvary, casting the ominous shadows of the crosses towards the retreating multitude. In the distance the livid temple marks the place of the rending veil. (Mark 15:38.) [Illustration: Golgotha.] Plate 153. _Golgotha._ J. L. Gerome. 1824- _Morris, Plate 152,_ has drawn the deserted cross. An unknown woman lifts her little boy that he may see that which was written above the head of Christ. "And there was written, Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews . . . in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek." (John 19:19-22.)

THE BURIAL. _Ciseri, Plate 156,_ portrays, if not "The grandest funeral that ever passed on earth," certainly the greatest. Joseph of Arimathaea, Nicodemus, and John the beloved carry the dead Christ. His mother, Mary, the Wonderful, walks by his side. "Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me." (Lam. 1:12.) Mary, the wife of Clopas, Mary Magdalene, and probably Mary of Bethany, are the other mourners. "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid." (John 19:41.) [Illustration: Christ Borne to the Tomb.] Plate 156. _Christ Borne to the Tomb._ Antonio Ciseri. _Hofmann, Plate 155,_ represents the company entering the rock-hewn tomb. He composes his company differently. The four women are present in the background, but now two of Joseph's servants have arrived to assist the three men who had been carrying the body. There, in the tomb, the body of Jesus was laid (John 19:42). [Illustration: Entombment.] Plate 155. _Entombment._ H. Hofmann. 1824- _Hofmann, Plate 154,_ adds a human touch not found in the records of the evangelists. The last to leave the body are John and the Lord's mother, Mary. [Illustration: In the Sepulchre.] Plate 154. _In the Sepulchre._ H. Hofmann. 1824- _Dyce, Plate 158,_ shows John and Mary with the crown of thorns, on their way to John's own home. (John 19:27.) Joseph and Nicodemus are just leaving the garden, while Mary Magdalene and another Mary watch at the tomb. (Mark 15:47.) [Illustration: John and the Mother of Jesus.] Plate 158. _John and the Mother of Jesus._ Wm. Dyce. _Dobson, Plate 157,_ has attempted to express the sorrow of Mary and the solicitude of John as they continue the walk homeward.

As it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, "there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it." (Matt. 28:1-2.)
