Heiliges Grab, Sepulchral monument in St. Cyriakus Church, Quedlinburg, Germany.
The Heiliges Grab stands as a rectangular chapel structure measuring 7.35 meters in length and 4.08 meters in width inside St. Cyriakus Church.
Between 1160 and 1180, craftsmen constructed this cenotaph in the Romanesque style within the south nave of St. Cyriakus Church in Gernrode.
The monument features carved symbols of the four evangelists and depicts Peter and John visiting Christ's empty tomb on its northern wall.
During Easter celebrations, the structure serves as a ceremonial space where a wooden cross is placed to commemorate the burial of Jesus.
The northern wall contains a full-round sculpture of Christ as God the Father, though the head portion has been missing since medieval times.
