The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of the holiest and most special sites in Christianity. Located in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, the church is home to two of the holiest sites in Christianity – the site where Jesus was crucified, known as Calvary, and the tomb where Jesus was buried and then resurrected. Today, the tomb is enclosed by a shrine called the Aedicula. The final four Stations of the Cross, or Via Dolorosa, are also located inside the church.

The New Testament tells us that Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, “the place of the skull.” This is commonly thought to be an area of stone quarries outside the city’s walls at the time. Around a decade after Jesus’s crucifixion, a third wall was built to enclose the area of his execution and burial within the city. This provides validation for the Holy Sepulchre’s location inside today’s Old City of Jerusalem.

After he had a vision of a cross in the sky in 312 AD, Constantine the Great converted to Christianity and sent his mother, Empress Helena, to Jerusalem in search of Jesus’s tomb. She found a relic of the cross near a tomb, leading her to believe she had found Calvary. In 326 AD, Constantine ordered a church built at the site. All the soil and debris over the centuries were removed from the cave, revealing a rock-cut tomb identified as the burial site of Jesus.

The Church now stands over the two holy sites. The great basilica or Martyrium encloses the traditional site of Calvary in one corner. Across the way, the Anastasis (“Resurrection”) encloses the cave tomb of Jesus’s burial. The church was finally consecrated on September 13, 335 AD. The wooden doors of the church’s main entrance are still the original doors from 326 AD. This puts into perspective the ancient grandeur of this holy church.

Inside the church entrance, a stairway leads up to Calvary (Golgotha), the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and the most extravagantly decorated part of the church. The exit from this site is down another stairway that leads to the ambulatory.

Calvary has two chapels, one Greek Orthodox and the other Catholic. The Greek Orthodox chapel’s altar is over the rock of Calvary, also the 12th Station of the Cross. You can touch the rock through a special hole in the floor beneath the altar. Be prepared to wait in line, as this is one of the main reasons people visit the church. You can also see the rock through the protective glass on both sides of the altar. In between the Catholic and Greek altars, a statue of Mary marks the 13th Station of the Cross.

Inside the church’s entrance is the Stone of Anointing, believed to be where Jesus’s body was prepared for burial. The modern mosaic along the wall depicts the anointing of Jesus’s body. Lamps with candles and incense hang, with an ornate stand over the stone.

    True believer! Love your videos. I visited Jerusalem before becoming a Christian and you are allowing me to relive that day from my new perspective. God bless.

    To my knowledge, the so-called Garden Tomb, which was discovered by a Protestant only in recent times, has be dated by Israeli experts as being a tomb coming from the 4th-8th century. Check this fact out. The Holy Sepulchre Tomb is definitely the tomb of Jesus. Especially since the latest renovations found not only a stone with a crusader cross on it, but also another. The stones were dated to the time of Constantine and then the time of the Crusaders. I do not think that these people got it wrong. It is always Protestants who dispute everything, not only traditional Christian doctrine, but also Christian holy places.

    Shalom and Happy Shabbat Zahi ❤, I can’t wait to be in Israel and I would love to meet you and hopefully you can take me around .❤

    I heard they also found a tunnel under the floor that went into the direction of the tomb of Jesus. I think it was National Geographic. It was a wonderful video. 25: 21. Wonderful video thank you for sharing. True Believer of the one and only Son of the Living God.

    Shalom Zahi thank you for your wonderful videos. I have personally learned so much about Jesus, his roots, The Jewish people etc. ✝️🕊️🔥

    I can't ever believe that the tomb of Yeshua has ever been found – Just like the grave of Moses was never found.
    The Holy Sepulcher is definitely not the burial place, and neither is the Garden Tomb the burial place.
    The place has to be near the Garden Tomb area as the skull rock of Golgotha is the place near the crucifixion site, and the crucifixion site is below the timber deck in the Garden Tomb area. Josephus marked the place of the scull rock on his map as Golgotha, and he should know better than any Catholic source. Catholicism was invented after 325AD.
