An
ancient church located in the
Old City of
Jerusalem. First built around the year 335, it was
burned by
Persians in 614, restored 10 years later,
destroyed again by the local
caliph in the 11th century, restored again by
crusaders in the 12th century, and generally
remodelled since that time until 1810. It was undergoing some additional
retrofitting when I saw it in 1998. People care about this church because it is supposedly located on the spot where
Jesus was buried and
resurrected, although this is under
debate.
Services are performed here by the Greek, Roman, Armenian, and Coptic churches, who control various parts. Visitors here can get away with a lot of stuff not usually tolerated, such as flash photography.
