Original text and translations

Latin text

Velum templi scissum est
et omnis terra tremuit.
Latro de cruce clamabat, dicens:
'Memento mei dum veneris in regnum tuum.'
Petrae scissae sunt et monumenta aperta sunt
et multa corpora sanctorum qui dormierant, surrexerunt.

English translation

The veil of the temple was rent
and all the earth shook.
The robber from the cross cried out, saying:
Remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Rocks were broken and graves were opened;
and many bodies of the saints who slept, arose.
