Old City, Jerusalem
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The holiest site in Christendom — where Christ was crucified and rose.
About This Holy Site
Built over the site of the Crucifixion, burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Shared by six Christian communities — Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian and Syriac. Every corner tells a story of faith spanning two millennia. From Golgotha to the empty tomb, this is where Christianity was born.
