Holy Sepulchre, Christian burial site in Old City, Jerusalem
The tomb chamber within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre contains a marble slab covering the stone bench where the body of Jesus was laid.
Emperor Constantine ordered the construction of the first church at this location in 326 CE, following the discovery of the tomb by his mother Helena.
Multiple Christian denominations, including Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Armenian Apostolic churches, conduct daily services and ceremonies at the burial site.
The entrance to the tomb requires visitors to bend through a low doorway and wait in line during peak hours of religious observances.
Archaeological studies from 2016 revealed the original limestone burial bed beneath several marble layers, dating back to the Constantine era construction.
