John 19:40 - Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
I wonder how you learned how to prepare a body for burial according to Jewish customs. Did everyone have to learn this? Did your parents actively teach this to you? Were both boys (or men) and girls (or women) taught this skill? Or did you learn it just by passively observing other funerals? Were there teachers, sort of like morticians, who specialized in training you?
