"And likewise Joseph also stepped out and said to them: Why are you angry against me because I begged the body of Jesus? Behold, I have put him in my new tomb, wrapping in clean linen; and I have rolled a stone to the door of the tomb. And you have acted not well against the just man, because you have not repented of crucifying him, but also have pierced him with a spear."
— Gospel of Nicodemus. Translated by Alexander Walker.
"The Jewish elders then captured Joseph, imprisoned him, and placed a seal on the door to his cell after first posting a guard. Joseph warned the elders, "The Son of God whom you hanged upon the cross, is able to deliver me out of your hands. All your wickedness will return upon you."
"In 1546, John Bale, a prominent Protestant writer, claimed that the early date of Joseph's mission meant that original British Christianity was purer than that of Rome, an idea which was understandably popular with English Protestants, notably Queen Elizabeth I herself, who cited Joseph's missionary work in England when she told Roman Catholic bishops that the Church of England pre-dated the Roman Church in England.

"the term hagiography is often used today as a pejorative reference to biographies and histories whose authors are perceived to be uncritical or excessively reverential toward their subject"

Where did you park the car
Where did we bury the scroll
Where did that stain come from
Breath fresh life into a musty crypt
Where did the tangent take a turn
Where did mother give birth to father
Where did worm cut in two to make four to spread eight ways
I parked on brainwash hill
Where does the sun go at night
Where does river go and come from
Where do children learn to breathe
The basket of answers overflowing
Where did the answers gain words
Where did the words find syllables
Where did cat meow sound first pain
Open the ear the sun is there
