236. Signs After the Death of the Lord. Mt. 27:51–54; Mk. 15:38–39; Lk. 23:45–48

And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were split; and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the holy dead rose; and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

The centurion who stood facing him, seeing that he had thus cried out and breathed his last, and seeing what had happened after, glorified God and said: Truly this man was righteous, was the Son of God.

And not only the centurion, but also those who were with him guarding the Lord Jesus, seeing the earthquake and all that had happened, were very frightened and likewise said: Truly he was the Son of God.

And all the multitude who had come together to see this spectacle, seeing what had happened, returned home beating their breasts.
