TRANSCRIPT

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre[1] (Latin: ecclesia Sancti Sepulchri; Hebrew: , Knesiyat HaKever HaKadosh), also called the Church of the Resurrection by Orthodox Christians (Arabic: , kanssat al Qi'yma; Armenian: , Surb Harutian taar; Greek: , Nas ts Anastses), is a church within the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is a few steps away from the Muristan.

The site is venerated as Calvary (Golgotha),[2] where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified,[3] and also contains the place where Jesus is said to have been buried and resurrected. Within the church are the last four (or, by some definitions, five) Stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa, representing the final episodes of Jesus' Passion. The church has been an important Christian pilgrimage destination since at least the fourth century as the traditional site of the resurrection of Christ.

Today it also serves as the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, while control of the building is shared between several Christian churches and secular entities in complicated arrangements essentially unchanged for centuries. Today, the church is home to branches of Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy as well as to Roman Catholicism. Anglicans and Protestants have no permanent presence in the Church[4] and some have regarded the Garden Tomb, elsewhere in Jerusalem, as the true place of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.
