After Jesus Christ carried His wooden cross, this site became the site for Jesus’ crucifixion, as well as His burial and Resurrection. Established in 335 AD, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is regarded as one of the most sacred places for Orthodox Christians and Catholics. It has been made on the foundation of a Roman temple to Venus (Aphrodite). You will find the actual sepulcher inside Edicule, a chapel with 2 rooms located under the rotunda of the church. There are different prayer times for various denominations. To enter the Edicule, you need to have patience to fall in line for a long time.
