John 20:6-7 "Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself." To answer this question, it helps if you know a little about Jewish tradition and history. Jews in those days had certain customs within their culture that was accepted. For instance, today in 2009, in some cultures it is rude to burp at the table, but in others it is a polite way of saying that you enjoyed the food. In the days that Jesus walked this earth in Israel, it is said that Jews had a certain custom with their napkins when dining together. If one was at the table eating, and got up when he was done, he would just throw his napkin down on his plate without any care. But if he was getting up from the table for one reason or another, and had intentions to return to the table and finish eating, he would take his napkin, carefully fold it or "wrap it together" and place it on the table, signifying that he would soon return to finish his meal. The symbolism is that Jesus took his napkin, carefully folded it or "wrapped it together", signifying that he would soon return.
