The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

“Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard. " The Gospel of St. Matthew; 27; 57-65

"I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son, Our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead, and on the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. Amen" 

(The Apostles Creed dates back to the early church, some say it was composed by the Apostles, but most agree that it's earliest use can be found in the writings of St. Irenaeus in the 2nd. century. It is most likely to have been recited and carried forward as an oral tradition at the time of Baptism in the very church of the Apostlic age.)
