This tomb has been revered by Anglicans and Protestants for some time as the real tomb of Christ. But the true place of burial is still not exactly known. Someone claims that this is the place where the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is now located, and some point to the Tomb in the garden.
As our guide told us, in the 19th century, an English general discovered a rock near the Old Town that looked like a human skull. Since Golgotha means skull in Aramaic, he decided that this place was Golgotha. After excavation, they found ancient burials, a reservoir for irrigation of the garden, and a tomb was found in the rock with a moving stone blocking the entrance. All this testified that the true burial place of Jesus Christ is in the Garden Tomb, and not in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
But after the study of the Garden Tomb in the 20th century by other scientists, it was believed that the tomb most likely belongs to the 8th-7th centuries BC. e.
So opinions are divided. Despite this, the Garden Tomb is very popular, visited by thousands of tourists and pilgrims from all over the world.
The garden is very well maintained, there are flowers, flower beds, trees all around, here you can sit quietly, pray and think.
