A Day of Rest (Sabbath)

One can only speculate on the thoughts, actions and emotions that the diciples of Jesus must have been experiencing that Sabbath after the crucifixion. Desperation, anger, fear, disappointment, confusion, guilt, etc. We just do not know but we are told through the gospels that Joesph of Arimathea, a disciple, had secured Jesus' body from Pilate for burial before sunset and that Mary Magdalene & Mary mother of James & Joses are near the tomb. We also learn that guards were placed at the tomb and that Sabbath was observed.
