Every part was analyzed, but there was not found any trace of human remains. Marilyn Haverkate expressed it this way: It’s Friday. Jesus was nailed dead on a cross….but Sunday’s coming. It’s Friday. Mary’s crying her eyes out Cause her son Jesus is dead…. But Sunday’s coming. It’s Friday. The disciples are running in every direction Like sheep without a shepherd…. But Sunday’s coming.
