Holy Sepulcher

(Redirected from Church of the Holy Sepulchre)
The Holy Sepulcher is the tomb outside the city walls of Jerusalem where Jesus was placed between His burial and Resurrection. It was a new tomb cut out of rock, owned by Joseph of Arimathaea, who had asked Pontius Pilate for Jesus's body. It is expressly mentioned many times in every Gospel, including Mark 15:46 and Mark 16:2.
Emperor Constantine built a basilica over this tomb, and today the Church of the Holy Sepulcher stands there to encompass both the site of the Crucifixion and the tomb.[1] Late in life, Christopher Columbus sought to win for Christianity control of that cave back from the Muslims.
