The Church of the Holy Sepulchre




This church dates back to the 4th century and today is shared by Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox. It is considered by many Christians to be the holiest place in Christendom — containing both the hill of Golgotha where Jesus was buried and the tomb where he was buried. Candles and icons surround the site of Jesus’ crucifixion. Behind the Orthodox tomb of Jesus is a chamber that some believe is a more credible location for his burial.
