LANDMARKS & ATTRACTIONS

Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Jerusalem

For Christian pilgrims, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre stands as one of the most sacred sites in Christianity, encompassing two of its holiest locations. Within its walls lies Golgotha, also known as Calvary, the site of Jesus' crucifixion, as well as the Empty Tomb, where tradition holds that Jesus was buried and resurrected. Originally built over the ruins of a pagan temple, the church owes its foundation to St. Helena, the devout mother of Emperor Constantine. Following Constantine’s conversion to Christianity in 312 AD, St. Helena embarked on a mission to establish significant Christian landmarks across the Holy Land. Among her commissions, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre emerged as the most revered, evolving into one of the most architecturally complex and spiritually profound sites in the world. The church also encompasses the final five Stations of the Cross, culminating in the 14th and final station—the site of Jesus' burial. Uniquely, it is shared by six Christian denominations: the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Each community maintains its own chapels and traditions, contributing to the church’s rich historical and spiritual tapestry. A visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a deeply moving experience, offering a tangible connection to the foundations of Christian faith and the events that shaped its history.

Mount of Olives

Jerusalem

The Mount of Olives, a significant biblical site, is mentioned in the Scriptures as King David’s escape route and later in the prophets. Most notably, it appears in the New Testament as the place where Jesus taught, wept over Jerusalem (Matthew 26:36-39), and ascended into heaven (Acts 1). This sacred hill is home to key religious landmarks, including the Chapel of the Ascension, offering panoramic views of Jerusalem, and Dominus Flevit Church, meaning "The Lord Wept." The Church of All Nations, also known as the Basilica of the Agony, stands beside the Garden of Gethsemane. Other notable sites include the Russian Orthodox Church of Maria Magdalene, the Pater Noster Convent, and the Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Mary, or the Tomb of the Virgin Mary. The Mount of Olives is also home to the Jewish Cemetery, the world’s oldest continuously used burial site.

Via Dolorosa

Jerusalem

The Via Dolorosa, Latin for the “Way of Sorrow” or “Way of Suffering,” is one of the most sacred pilgrimage routes in Christianity. Winding through the Old City of Jerusalem, this revered path follows the journey of Jesus Christ as he carried the cross to his crucifixion at Golgotha. Tradition holds that Jesus walked this route after his condemnation by Pontius Pilate, enduring suffering and humiliation along the way. The path is marked by 14 Stations of the Cross, each commemorating a key moment of his Passion. These stations include where Jesus was condemned, where he stumbled under the weight of the cross, where he met his mother Mary, and where Veronica is said to have wiped his face. The final stations are inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected. Walking the Via Dolorosa is a deeply moving spiritual experience, allowing pilgrims to retrace Christ’s final steps, reflecting on his sacrifice and the significance of his suffering. The route passes through Jerusalem’s ancient streets, bustling markets, and historic landmarks, blending sacred history with the city’s vibrant present. For Christians worldwide, the Via Dolorosa remains a place of profound faith, devotion, and reflection, drawing thousands each year who seek to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
