A new view of Palm Sunday - Part 4

First view of the dome of the Church of the
Holy Sepulchure
Continued from Part 3.

Calvary.  I don't know what I expected, exactly.  A desolate mountain or a lonely hill.  Something separated from reality, I guess.  The Church of the Holy Sepulchure contains both the locations of Jesus' death on the cross and His Resurrection.  I had not realized how closely situated these places really are.










Almost there!

Entrance to the church is the doorway on the left


Steps to Calvary
 Carrying the cross to Calvary, where Jesus was stripped, nailed to the cross, and hung to die.  After his death, he was taken down from the cross and placed in the tomb.



Where we can reach down and touch the rock of Calvary.
