Description
The day following Jesus' crucifixion remains one of the most intriguing periods in Christian history. According to the Scriptures, Jewish leaders requested that Pilate provide guards for Jesus' tomb, but no other significant events from that day are recorded. It is possible that some followers of Jesus gathered together to mourn his death, and it is likely that many friends who had accompanied him to Jerusalem did not immediately return home. Assuming that some mourners wanted to come together, the question remains where they might have assembled. This book explores the idea that a group of followers may have witnessed the first Christian church service on that day, and invites readers to consider this possibility.
