Some wonderful reading for Good Friday from Blessed Catherine Anne Emmerich the 19th century German mystic, regarding her vision of Our Lord’s Passion. This is an excerpt from what she saw related to St Matthew 27:52,53
More than a hundred persons who had died at different epochs re-entered the bodies they had occupied when on earth, made their appearance in different parts of Jerusalem, and filled the inhabitants with inexpressible consternation. Those souls which had been released by Jesus from Limbo uncovered their faces and wandered to and fro in the streets, and although their bodies were the same as those which they had animated when on earth, yet these bodies did not appear to touch the ground as they walked. They entered the houses of their descendants, proclaimed the innocence of Jesus, and reproved those who had taken part in his death most severely. I saw them passing through the principal streets; they were generally in couples, and appeared to me to glide through the air without moving their feet. The countenances of some were pale; others of a yellow tint; their beards were long, and their voices sounded strange and sepulchral. Their grave-clothes were such as it was customary in use at the period of their decease.

Awesome to imagine, I have this book and its very eye opening.
 
I wish more people would read it. The rest of that chapter is amazing. I’m sending excerpts to a friend we went to church with this afternoon, right now.
