An example of a 1st Century tomb from the time of Jesus.  This was excavated in the 1980's in the Galilee area.  

Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Jerusalem 

Orthodox worshippers at the site honored as the place where Jesus body was taken off the cross and put into the care of His mother Mary.  Joseph of Arimathea  asked Pilate for the body, and after customary preparation placed it in his own new family tomb.

Lighting candles at the site of the site believed to be that of the empty tomb of the risen Christ.  The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is built around this tomb.
