Trip to Jerusalem (Part 3): Church of the Holy Sepulchre

The site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is identified as the place both of the crucifixion and the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth. The church has long been a major pilgrimage center for Christians all around the world. Walking in this Holy site is beyond compare.

No amount of expletives would ever get close to how great it felt being in the very place where Jesus was said to have been crucified. And there's no question people are always lined up to be part of this blessed opportunity. Coming from different corners of the world, tourists have continuously shown interest to marvel on this great site.

Truly a remarkable experience.

All eyes were set on our tour guide and the stairs, of course. Hehe

A collective wow was given at the sight of this great architectural masterpiece.

There's something mystifying about seeing the very site where Christ was crucified.

No amount of The Passion of the Christ DVD viewing can equal to the feeling of reverence you get from  seeing this.

And that's where you can touch the stones where Christ's cross was erected ages ago.

Tourists, with eyes wowed by the architecture and the historical view,  gather to take photos of the Church.

Forward, shutterbugs!

Sight-seers all. All of us travelers join tourists from different countries in seeing the artworks on the walls and ceilings.

History Channel, live!

A moment of praise for Joseph.

Just like a Roman coliseum inside the church.

The old and the new. Time differences coalesce one step inside the church.

Nothing holier than this.

Just like in the movies.
