The three Christian communities that have uneasily shared their holiest site for centuries are embarking on a large-scale project to restore the ancient stone floor of the Jerusalem basilica.
The project includes an excavation that could shed light on the rich history of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City, built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was crucified, died and rose again, the central event of the faith celebrated every spring on Easter.
It marks a further improvement of ties among the Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic churches. In the past, they have come to blows over the site, which they share under a delicate arrangement dating back to the mid-19th century. Three other denominations also have clearly defined access to the church.
“The cooperation among the three communities is the most important thing,” said Rev. Francesco Patton, the head of the Catholic Franciscan order devoted to preserving Christian sites in the Holy Land. “It shows to the entire world that it is possible among Christians of different churches and communities to have a fraternal relationship.”
The three communities came together in 2016 to restore the Holy Edicule on the site where Jesus is believed to have been buried in a cave tomb - the first large-scale renovation since the clean-up after an 1808 fire.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. According to traditions dating back to the fourth century, it contains the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus was crucified, at a place known as Calvary or Golgotha, and Jesus's empty tomb, where he is believed by Christians to have been buried and resurrected. After allegedly seeing a vision of a cross in the sky in 312, Constantine the Great converted to Christianity, signed the Edict of Milan legalising the religion, and sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem to look for Christ's tomb. With the help of Bishop of Caesarea Eusebius and Bishop of Jerusalem Macarius, three crosses were found near a tomb, leading the Romans to believe that they had found Calvary. Constantine ordered in about 326 that the temple to Jupiter/Venus be replaced by a church. After the temple was torn down and its ruins removed, the soil was removed from the cave, revealing a rock-cut tomb that Helena and Macarius identified as the burial site of Jesus. A shrine was built, enclosing the rock tomb walls within its own. In 327, Constantine and Helena separately commissioned the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to commemorate the birth of Jesus. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was built as separate constructs over the two holy sites: the great basilica (the Martyrium visited by Egeria in the 380s), an enclosed colonnaded atrium (the Triportico) with the traditional site of Calvary in one corner, and across a courtyard, a rotunda called the Anastasis ("Resurrection"), where Helena and Macarius believed Jesus to have been buried. The church was consecrated on 13 September 335. Every year, the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates the anniversary of the Dedication of the Temple of the Resurrection of Christ

If only that floor could speak. But, your little tour brings all that to life. Thank you for taking us with you, dear friend. God willing someday I hope to take this tour (and Lord willing I can have you as my guide because I honestly feel you’re kinda like a surrogate dad). Prayers for you and your family and friends and all Israel.

Thank you Zahi! My wife and I watched together yesterday evening. Oh wow. The stone of anointing looks all a mess 😯 I have no doubt the workers will put it all back together. Someday, I would love to know more about the findings of what was found under the stone floors 🤔
Zahi thank you this video. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre has a lot historical artifacts to discover. Much appreciate it. Shalom to you and and Sholomi. 🙏🙏🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

YOU ARE THE BEST VIRTUAL GUIDE. THANKS FOR THE DETAILED COVERAGE. GOD BLESS. 👍
Zahi is awesome
Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m so confused, but it’s amazing.❤
Thank you brother Zahi..I have been there last year October. I was lucky to see the anointing table but now they are renovating this part which might not exist in future. Through your video I could see few other parts of the Church that I couldn't last time.. Thank you.
Zahi, greatings also to Mr Shlomo . . .
Hey Zahi just started watching your videos again since the war started. Haven't been watching as much because I can't bear to see all the suffering going on in the Holyland (be it Israeli or Palestinian dosent matter). Glad you're still at it and plan on watching much more often. Blessed Lent!
Welcome back
Another video that gives not widely known information. Commendable effort during wartime.
Thank you Zahi for the location of where my ancestor Fulk V of Anjou was.
Very insteresting, as usual excellent video and content!!! Do you know when the remodeling will be completed, and when will the tourism resume in Israel?
I'm not sure that tourist will visit Israel in the next 3 months
Thank you Zahi. Praying for Peace. Am Israel Chai❤️
Greetings from England
It sooo complicated all the divides, you are so right, super political!
Thank you ❤ again ❤and again Zahi. Things we did not see last year. Always Blessed.
Hello my bro Zahi
Hello, Zahi and Shlomi! Spectacular video! I enjoyed it so much.
Thank you for sharing. You make a great teacher.
Proximo anno in Israel.
Hi Zahi, another SUPERB video! Thanks! Quick question: What was the book you were using there near the end for reference? (Don't worry, I read Hebrew)
I read an academic paper recently that said they think that even though the tomb monuments above ground were removed after the fire in 1808, the burials below ground are probably still there. For the Crusader tombs around the Chapel of Adam and the Stone of Unction that is. Maybe they will find something in the renovations. Also the wood panel on the ground outside the church seen at 5:05 covers a Crusader tomb beneath it too.
❤❤❤
great video. Thanks
Indiana Jones stuff Zahi!! So great!!
The city should fix it and divide the bill between them. 😊
Where has itimar, moses nephew gone, is he OK, keep up the brilliant work brother, stay safe
He was busy. Next week he will add some more videos
if only I was there, I could take a bag full of earth from those containers.
It's a shame really, that there is absolutely nothing in the church in remembrance of the kings buried there...
Especially Baldwin IV who led Jerusalem so well despite being sick with a deadly disease deserves remembrance imo.
Would be crazy if they would actually find remains of their tombs.
What a fascinating video! I am curious: given that the Byzantines were from the Greek part of the Roman Empire, and Constantine and St Helena were from Latin speaking Rome, were the churches St Helena was responsible for building of Greek or Latin tradition?
I would love to hear more about the 1808 fire - how did it happen? How much was damaged? And since so much of the building seems to be flame proof stone, what exactly burned so fiercely?
Nice❤
Zahi thanks, love following this church’s charges. 🌹🌹🌹
How about Itamar? And mr Mordecai?
Prayers fore you all!
It's a tough time for all of us. Don't worry you will see them soon. Thank you
@@zahishaked
Zahi, I’m so glad to be seem you to be doing well - after all . . .
I think KING BALDWIN IV of jerusalem the LEPER KING buried there with his mask.
It's history is very diverse.. Can You suggest me where can read about its history..any book or any website.i have been there but yet to know so many things
Amazing thank you. as a catholic that won't ever go to the holy land I really appreciate all of this. Question: at the end of this video - is this islamic prayer chant?? If so why in this church?
Yes, it is. The Muslims built it to show who controls the city
Heya Zahi, what year/era are those bullet holes from, and why guy? ...also, the pictures/icons on that wall are beautiful, but we do not worship them, nor the crucifix...(they are just reminders), and different than the gold calf in the 40 year wandering...thanx for this tour...not sure when this was made?!🌏☮AND💜✝
Bullet holes?
ZAHI...On that 400AD dated wall you showed, there were some big some medium and some round concave circles...do you know what these ''donut holes '' are for want of a better word....I saw them also on a much newer wall too...arrow marks ? thought you might have an idea ? thanx @@zahishaked☮
In many cases this is actually true
NONE OF THE CRUSADERS BODIES ARE THERE ANYMORE ‼️‼️‼️LONG SINCE REMOVED AND 💯💯💯‼️‼️🕊🕊🕊✝️✝️✝️
Where are they? Does anyone know? I’m just curious, thank you.🙏🏽
@24:29 is that (and forgive me for not knowing) Jewish prayer singing, other, or Muslim prayer singing ?
Muslim
@@zahishaked Sad that Israelis have had to listen to that for years, and they do it on loudspeakers over the whole town huh.
You say some graves were destroyed, could you tell me again who exactly destroyed them, the greek orthodox ? Then so what happened then to the graves/ remains ? Where did they go ?
Greek Orthodox. We don't know what's happened to the remains
@@zahishaked Thanks again, ive never heard the story so just wondering, you dont why the greek orthodox would have done that, i believe you said something that the Crusaders even being Christian dealt harshly with them or something ?
In 23:45
Can you say the name of the book please?
It's in Hebrew, but there are si many books in English about the history of the church
Why is there not a Christian church in the only scephtor? Thank you!
It's a Christian church
Please take this video down or show the real photos of the holy sepulchre church or i will.

What a fascinating video! I am curious: given that the Byzantines were from the Greek part of the Roman Empire, and Constantine and St Helena were from Latin speaking Rome, were the churches St Helena was responsible for building of Greek or Latin tradition? Can you please tell us more about the interaction between the existing churches and the Crusaders upon their arrival?
