The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the Church of the Resurrection, is located at the center of Old Jerusalem and is considered the holiest site in Christianity. It encompasses the Calvary, where Jesus was crucified, and His empty Tomb, where He was buried and resurrected. The original church was built by Saint Helen in the 4th century, replacing a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Venus. Despite the numerous conflicts and destructions that the church has endured throughout the centuries, scholars believe it occupies the most likely location of both the Crucifixion and the Tomb of Jesus Christ. The present church was renovated in 1810, is carved into rock, adorned with marble and illuminated by lamps. It is also the seat of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
