Yesterday, we started our look at Passion Week in the life of Jesus. This morning was a VERY interesting experience. It was the most holy day in the Jewish calendar…Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. There was no traffic in Jewish Jerusalem. We spent our day walking in the Old City. We picked up our Passion Week study and walk the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
Although the Church of the Holy Sepulcher ("tomb") is now within the city walls, it was outside the walls of Jesus' day. Various places within the church contain remains from the first century, adding credibility to its identification as the location of Calvary and the empty tomb. Up the stairs you will see the bedrock at a considerable height above the current floor; this is all that remains of the outcrop of rock which is the probable location of Calvary.
(This is how the tomb looks like in the 1st Century)
(This was probably the stone where Jesus' body was laid down after crucifixion) Many religious people come and kiss this stone.
(Many believed that this was the location where Jesus was buried).
