The Empty Tomb of Our Lord Jesus Christ stands as the foundation of Christian joy and hope. For the Roman Catholic Church, it is the threshold between death and life, the place where darkness gave way to light. Its silence proclaims the greatest message ever heard: Christ is risen! Through centuries of prayer, pilgrimage, and proclamation, the tomb remains open—not only in Jerusalem, but in the hearts of all who believe.
In contemplating the Empty Tomb, the Catholic faithful are drawn ever deeper into the mystery of salvation, called not only to witness, but to live the Resurrection in every aspect of life. The stones are empty, but the promise is eternal.
