Silence of Grief - Shouts of Tears

The day in-between. The day when the overwhelming silence of loss and grief was equaled only by the pain and cries of the tears of death. A Sabbath to be forgotten. A Day of Rest that may even have seemed endless because of what had happened.

So I end this Holy Week with one last clip from Jesus Christ Superstar (1973). John 19:41-

19:41. Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid.


Note: At 1:44 the shepherd appears in the lower left. It is unintentional, we are told. Perhaps, but there may well have been another "Director."
