Tombs have a disobliging tendency to become shrines where death and vengeance are turned into virtues and sacred obligations. Maybe that is why the only tomb we celebrate is an empty one, where life, not death, is a sacred obligation, and vengeance is none of our business.

Maybe it is because we are not supposed to get worked up about tombs. There is only one tomb that Christians should really care about, and that one is empty.
