VIDEO TREAT! The first thing you see when you walk into the Holy Sepulchre!! ***Commentary from the Internet: After a few moments looking in that area, we made our way back toward the entrance of the church so we could go up some stairs to see Golgotha, the place where Jesus was crucified. The mount has been enclosed by the church centuries ago, but the exposed rock at the top where they believe the cross was placed is in a shrine that you can touch. On our way, we passed whats called the Stone of the Anointing, commemorating the anointing of Jesus body before burial. Theres a beautiful mural behind it that depicts the scene of Jesus being taken down from the cross and being anointed and buried. The stone itself is revered highly by Orthodox Christians and we saw many of them coming and kneeling before it, many of them kissing it in much the same way many of the figures in the mural were kissing Jesus.
