The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem. David Roberts.

Holy Land

To walk where Christ was born, taught, suffered and rose is the oldest Christian pilgrimage of all. In the fourth century St. Helena sought out the holy places, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has been the goal of pilgrims ever since: Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem.
