This has been debated by theologians through the ages with many believing that Jesus rested in the grave, others, like John Calvin and Martin Luther, believe He suffered in Hell to atone for our sins, and, many Christians (including the Eastern Orthodox church) believe that He marched into Hell and redeemed all those righteous souls who were sent there before He was crucified and made their sacrifice.
