  In the framework of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity it is
possible to establish the energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field.
This tensor has the following essential features: (1) it is identified directly
in Einstein's field equations; (2) it is conserved and traceless; (3) it yields
expressions for the energy and momentum of the gravitational field; (4)it is
free of second (and highest) derivatives of the field variables; (5) the
gravitational and matter energy-momentum tensors take place in the field
equations on the same footing; (6) it is unique. However, it is not symmetric.
We show that the spatial components of this tensor yield a consistent
definition of the gravitational pressure.
