"Eusebius, simply says "the venerable and hallowed monument of Our Lord's resurrection became visible." Exactly what this means isn't clear, but some later accounts say that the excavation uncovered a tomb containing some nails and the sign that Pilate had attached to the top of the cross."

One body? Or many bodies? The story is intentionally vague in this respect. Those with an adolescent understanding of the story are likely inclined to see this as evidence of a single body -- that of some man named Jesus. But the more esoteric (and adult) understanding, is that Christ came unto many martyrs -- and their bodies, considered together, were that "hallowed monument of Our Lord's resurrection."
