Peaceful Reflection at The Garden Tomb

The Garden Tomb, situated north of Jerusalem's Old City, serves as a significant pilgrimage site for many Christians. Often considered by some as the burial and resurrection site of Jesus, it offers a tranquil environment away from the city's bustling streets.

The site was popularized in 1883 by General Charles Gordon, who believed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre could not be the actual crucifixion site. He identified this garden and its tomb, which features a rolling stone entrance. Although debated among scholars, archaeologists have dated structures in the area to the 7th to 5th centuries BCE, still, the location remains a place of reverence and contemplation.
