The Church of the Holy Sepulcher

Submitted by indyainfo
Fri, 28 Aug 2009

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also called the Church of Resurrection, is the most important and holiest church in the world. It is even considered to be holier than the Vatican. It was originally built by the mother of Emperor Constantine in 330 A.D. It is located within the walled Old City of Jerusalem.

"And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull." Matthew 27:33

Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, or the Rock of Cavalry, around which the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was later built. A hole in the rock, where the cross was raised, can still be seen. An earthquake is said to have occurred at the time when Jesus died on the cross, the damage of which is visible in the form of a crack on the Rock of Cavalry.

"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left." Luke 23:33

In the church you can also see the Stone of Anointing where Jesus' body was prepared for burial. Many people believe this is the holiest of the holiest spots and choose to make their prayers here. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is so named because it is where Jesus' sepulcher meaning crypt or tomb, is located. In the Edicule of the Church there are two rooms: one with the Angel's Stone, which is a piece of the stone that sealed Jesus' tomb after burial; and another room which held the tomb itself.

Jesus was resurrected within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre three days after his crucifixion, appearing in front of Mary Magdalene in the form of an angel.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." John 11:25

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the one and only holy place where religionists, historians, archaeologists, and scientists all agree that the purported actions did indeed take place. The location of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is not just a guess, rather there is factual evidence that points to this place as being the same spot that is mentioned in the Bible as the place of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection.

HolyLandPrayer.com introduced a new service in early 2009 providing devout Christians around the world the ability to light a candle or make a prayer request at the holiest place on Earth: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. HolyLandPrayer.com is located in Jerusalem, just steps from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior was crucified, buried and resurrected.
