What is the most accepted theory on aftermath of Jesus' body?

by [deleted]

Many different theories have been brought up on the aftermath of Jesus' body including the most famous resurrection story. For the historians that believe Jesus existed, what do you think happened to his body and what historical evidence do you have to support this? Is this theory held by most historians? If so, what theory is and why?

Also as a side question, what do historians think of books by apologists on this subject such as Lee Strobel's A Case For Christ (probably not the best example but I hear of it a lot from Christians)?

Edit: I honestly don't know the answer to this. People asked for information on the historical Jesus but not about the location of his body. I have no knowledge in this issue and want to learn. Please don't down vote so much. If this has been brought up, please post a link.

The Roman Catholic Church still has a holy day of obligation called the Feast of the Ascension. They believe that forty days after Easter, Jesus ascended up to heaven. It is supported by Mark 16:18, Luke 24 :51 and Acts of the Apostiles 1 :9-11 After the early Christian church decided what gospels were the canon of the New Testament, they had three primary sources to show them what the aftermath of Jesus' body was. They believe he rose up to heaven, body and soul, so there is no need to look for an actual body of historical Jesus.
