Church of St. Joseph of Arimathea was created in 1883.
I've never heard of arimathers before, but the word 'arimathea' is pronounced as 'air-ee-math-ee-ah'. So, I assume it's pronounced as 'air-ee-math-errs'.
The one done with Joseph of Arimathea. (The 'Joseph of Arimathea' in the sculpture is supposed to be a self portrait of Michelangelo).
St. Joseph of Arimethea offered his tomb for the Body Of Jesus.
A:The town of Arimathea is known only indirectly, as the home town of Joseph of Arimathea, who provided his own tomb for the burial of Jesus. No other ancient source mentions Arimathea, and all attempts to locate the town have been unsuccessful. If Joseph really had a tomb prepared for himself in Jerusalem, it should have been a town quite close by, and pious proposals suggest that it was located somewhat to the north-west of Jerusalem. Many scholars find reason to doubt the historicity of Joseph of Arimathea. Perhaps the most compelling reason for the ahistoricity of Joseph and even of the town of Arimathea, is that 'Arimathea' could mean 'Best disciple town' in Greek. In Mark's Gospel, all the disciples had deserted Jesus and only Joseph of Arimathea stood by him. Joseph, the 'best disciple', was symbolic of the failure of the twelve disciples but he and Arimathea never really existed.B.Some scholars think Arimathea may be the same as Rama, birth place of Samuel; modern Rentis, 15 miles east of Jafa.

Joseph of Arimathea became the patron saint of funeral directors because he was the disciple who took Jesus' body from the crucifixion and prepared it for burial. Joseph of Arimathea also provided the grave from which Jesus later resurrected. Later legends suggest that Joseph of Arimathea brought with him to Glastonbury the blood of Christ in a golden cup named The Holy Grail.
