They were placing rosaries and other articles on the stone of unction, they were placing their burial garments on the Saviour's tomb and the stone of unction, doubt- less the robes that were worn when they plunged into the Jordan, if they have been where Jesus was baptized, or the garments that they will wear on that occasion when it arrives in their course of pilgrimage.
