Direction to Site 12

Turn towards the Alexandria Beach track. Turn back on Route 4 and left in 120m descending 33 steps to the pristine beach walk at least 200m along the beach before looking back and pausing for reflection.

The naked body is cradled, washed and wrapped in a towel.

Reflection

Let us remember all who grieve and all who lament the loss of loved ones. We remember all who comfort and stand with those who mourn.

Selection Mark 15:42- 47 (NIV)

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom
of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.
