Overview

Nicodemus figures prominently in the Christian iconography of the Deposition in which he and Joseph of Arimathea are shown removing the dead Jesus of Nazareth from the cross, often with the aid of a ladder; see Burial of Jesus.

The Meeting with Nicodemus is less often depicted in traditional iconography.

Christian tradition identified Nicodemus as one of the "devout men" who buried Stephen; see Burial of Stephen.
