Create an itinerary including Eglise du Saint-Sepulcre
Join millions of pilgrims who make their way to Eglise du Saint-Sepulcre, a deeply significant Christian landmark dating back to the 4th century CE. Christians believe the church contains both the site of Jesus' crucifixion and the tomb in which he was buried and resurrected. Several Christian denominational groups share ownership of the church--you can see the blending of their traditions and cultures within, as you navigate the maze of rooms and halls. Dress modestly and prepare for a potentially long line at the entrance. Put Eglise du Saint-Sepulcre on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Jerusalem tour planner.

  • Although crowded with numerous tour groups, nothing can detract from the holiness that fills this massive church. If you close your eyes as you kneel at the place of Jesus' crucifixion or where his body was laid to rest, you can feel His presence in your heart and soul. An incredible experience.
  • The most holy place for christianity. History can be touched and seen here in every place inside the church and the many chapels inside. It can take a long time to reach the tomb of jesus if there are lot of people. Take your camera with you to this church since it's an amazing enviernment
