“And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Matthew 27:51
A legend is an unverified story. By their very nature legends are unverifiable because they have very few eyewitnesses.
"Hey, Ezekah -- I was in Paris last night and the Eiffel Tower came to life (just like those Zombies in Matthew) and stomped a few people to death, and then went back in place. Hey, don't believe me? There were 10,000 eye witnesses!"
"Do not remove this memory from your heart all the days of your life. Teach your children and your children’s children about the day that you stood before HaShem your G-d at Horev [Mount Sinai]... G-d spoke to you from the midst of the fire, you were hearing the sound of words, but you were not seeing a form, only a sound. He told you of His covenant, instructing you to keep the Ten Commandments, and He inscribed them on two stone tablets.’ (Deavrim / Deut.4:9-13)
