church of the holy sepulchre


The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is located within the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, just a short walk from the Muristan. Legends dating back to at least the fourth century claim that the church houses two of the most sacred sites in Christianity: the location where Jesus was crucified, referred to as Calvary in Latin and Golgotha in Greek, and the empty tomb where he is said to have been buried and resurrected.
