The church contains, according to traditions dating back at least to the fourth century, the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified,[1] known as "Calvary" or "Golgotha", and Jesus's empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected.[2] The tomb is enclosed by the 18th-century shrine, called the Edicule (Aedicule). the altar of the holy sepulcher jerusalem, Jerusalem, Palestine, Israel, 1946, From the Album First leave in Palatine and Jerusalem, 18th September to 6th October album is a sight seeing trip off the religious sites of Jerusalem.
