Thought for the  day:

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.
The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
 
They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection
and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. 
 
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus
saw the earthquake and all that had happened,
they were terrified, and exclaimed,
"Surely he was the Son of God!"
Matthew 27:51-54
