Some Christians say that the soul stays on Earth for 40 days. This is supposed to be based on the belief that Jesus did not immediately go to Heaven after his crucifixion. There is really NO evidence to suggest that it is either true or untrue.

It appears to be a belief of the Russian and perhaps Greek Orthodox Churches. The discussion here may help, as may the links given by some posters: http://monachos.net/forum/showthread.php?8224-The-soul-for-40-days
