The three men removed the staves holding the cross upright. As the cross began to lean forward, the three men received the weight of Jesus's body and the cross. They carefully laid the cross down.

Mary began to cry. " I can't bear to see him like this".
" He must be buried in the burial cloth that Jonai brought".
