The stone to the Empty Tomb created by Frank Osborne in the Churchyard at St Mary's, Upchurch has been rolled back to reveal the linen burial shroud in which Jesus was wrapped after crucifixion before he was placed into the tomb.
Potted plants have been left to create a glorious garden on Easter Sunday when Christians celebrate Jesus, their risen saviour.
From John's Gospel
“Mary ran to find Simon Peter. They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, she cried.
Then Simon Peter ran to the tomb, went inside the tomb and noticed the cloth laying there that Jesus had been wrapped in.”
