Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem

one of the oldest and most important churches in the world. Join David Hyman , Israeli professional tour guide on this weeks Israel video tour. The church of the Holy Sepulchre was built during the 4th century CE by Queen Helena, mother of emperor Constantine. The church was built to house and protect the two most important sites for Christian faith: The hill of Calvary where Jesus was crusified and the tomb where Jesus was buried and from here he resurrected. The church contains the final stations of the cross, from the Tenth station to the fourteenth. The Church was renovated many times, and the current outlines and the facade date back to the Crusader perioud, 12 century CE.
The church is shared between six christian denominations, the three major ones are the Greek Orthodox , the Catholic Latin church and the Armenian church. Three minor denominations have rights on certain parts of the church and they are the Coptic church, the Syriac church and the Ethiopian church. An agreement between all the above churces called the Status quo , was issued at 1853 .
This tour will lead us through the major sites of the church, from the entrance and the historic doors, the hill of Calvary, the chaple of Adam, the rock of anointing, the rotonda that covers the Tomb of Jesus. We will also visit a rock-cut first century tomb withing the chaple of Joseph of Arametiah. Then we will visit the Armenian chaple of Queen Helena and we will descend to the deepest part of the church, to the quarry that is called the Chaple of the finding of the holy cross.

My first visit there in March 1995 was about that empty of tourists, but when I returned in June 2019, it was so crowded that it was hard to get around. I'm happy to have seen it with wandering around room, and I'm happy that there is so much interest in seeing it that it was crowded when I was there later. I hope Israel can achieve a lasting peace soon.

[@IsraelwithDavidHyman]

Hi Jan, you have a good eye, thanks for pointing this out. The imgae you can see is Noah's ark carrying an ancient Armenian cathedral called Zvartnots Cathedral. The word Zvartnots means Resurrection and the church was built in the 7th century CE in honore St Gregory the illuminator. Today you can visit the ruins of this cathedral, it is a short ride from Yerevan, Capital of Armenia.

As a former Franciscan, one issue we detested was Israeli Guides giving tours of our Holy Site. As a general observation, they have no respect for the faith and only interested in making money from the Tourists. There are much better videos here on TH-cam of the Holy Sepulchre.

Your comment is offensive, generalizing and in some way - antisemitic. However, your insights are important for my viewers to see, so I have decided to keep it visible.

Greetings of peace,
I testify that on 21 December 2006, through Deut 4:1-516 and John 14:6-7, God revealed truth to me, which is the picture or statue woul liken the image of Jesus is idol.
Because of God's will, I testified since January 2007 (Isaiah 44:8-9).
Give Ear Unto Me O My Nation
Isaiah 51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. 51:5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Psalm 81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

Yes, it is a good tour, but it is in the wrong place !
If you read and understand the Scripture properly, you will see that this site cannot possibly be what uninformed people claim it is, because it is totally in the wrong location.
This site has been incorrectly identified, chiefly due to the all too common misunderstanding concerning just what _type_ of sacrifice Jesus made.
