"This churchin Jerusalem's Old City is considered one of the world’s holiest Christian sites. It is believed that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified on this site, and it is the location of Jesus’ tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected. At the church's entrance, the Stone of Anointing marks the spot where Jesus’ body was prepared for burial. The three primary custodians of the church, appointed when Crusaders controlled Jerusalem, are the Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, and Roman Catholic churches. An agreement regulates the times and places of worship for each church."

Old Jerusalem is a fascinating location that had historical relations with many of the world's religions. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of those locations within the walls, and was very interesting. I would strongly suggest that guests either book a tour or research this (and other locations) to have a better understanding of the historical traditions of each location.

As an Jerusalem Tour Guide this is a must stop for Christians. You may need at least one good hour to understand the whole site. You may one hour or more in line to get into the Jesus Tomb.

A must-see of Jerusalem, a place full of history and spirituality. Take a moment to explore and admire its many chambers, as well as to recollect in tranquillity.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.

Really mixed feelings about this place. You really need a guide to understand this place. We had one which made it tolerable. Otherwise we would not have understood what we were looking at. The hole where the crucifix was placed into the rock... It's under a table. We crawled under and saw and felt the hole, all thanks to our guide. Otherwise we would have totally missed this. The church is full of niches, parts, i don't know what you call them. It's sort of a mess. Have a guide to explain. We're glad we visited. We don't plan on returning.

This is the most holy site in Jerusalem. This is the place where our Lord Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb after he was brought down from the cross. The place is usually very crowded. Better be there early in the morning to avoid the rush. The historical structure looks awesome. You can feel the peace and holiness as you enter in. A must visit place.

A good place. Even being a non Christian, you can feel an aura here, one of calmness of history, of many untold stories. The origin and the Nexus of this place can bring goosebumps in you. A church notwithstanding, the passage of time, the prayers and the feel of an era of magnificence can all be felt here..

The most holy pilgrimage site of christianity. A truly awe inspiring place. I spent many hours here in prayer and meditation. You can stay here over night if you arrange it weeks in advance. they only allow a few people per night. It is so peaceful and inspiring. It is a privilege to visit this place. Full of such history and traditions. Never miss out on entering this church.
