Pilgrims entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, situated in the Old City of Jerusalem, also called the Church of the Resurrection or Church of the Anastasis by Orthodox Christians. The church contains, according to traditions dating back at least to the fourth century, the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, known as `Calvary` in Latin and `Golgotha` in Greek; and Jesus`s empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected. The tomb is enclosed by the 18th-century shrine, called the Edicule Aedicule. The church has been a major Christian pilgrimage destination since its creation in the fourth century, as the traditional site of the Resurrection of Christ.
