Our next major stop was the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (pics. 1 and 2). This is a church shared by a number of religions. It has a number of major sites located in it such as the rock where the cross was, the slab where Jesus's body was laid out, the tomb where he was buried, the rock that sits at the center of the earth... you get the idea. Alot of unlikely genuine major sites. But all the same it was really interesting. Out guide explained the significance of each major site to the corresponding religion. And the mosaics on the ceilings and the walls were amazing.
