St. Joseph of Arimathea - He was a just and devout man who wa looking for the Kingdom of God. Although during our Lord's public life he was afraid to show himself openly as His disciple, after the crucifixion he had the courage to seek out Pilate and ask for the Body of Jesus. He took the Body of the Savior from the Cross, bound it up in wrappings of cloth with perfumed oil, and laid it in his own new tomb which had been hewn from a formation of rock.
