church of the holy sepulchre


The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, revered as one of the most sacred sites in Christianity, stands in the heart of the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. This ancient church is believed to encompass both the site of Jesus' crucifixion at Golgotha and his empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected. The church's rich history dates back to the 4th century when Emperor Constantine the Great first commissioned its construction, marking it as a central place of pilgrimage for Christians around the world ever since.
