**According to Catholicism, who and what happened to the multitude that rose from the dead immediately after Jesus died on the Cross?**
Are there any Catholic teachings or writings of any Catholic theologians or mystics concerning the events as to who and what happened to those who rose from their tombs after Christ's Crucifixion on Good Friday?
