The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the Church of the Resurrection,
is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.
It is considered to be the holiest site for Christians in the world,
as it has been the most important pilgrimage site for Christianity since the 4th century.
Old Haunts : The place where Jesus died, or shall I say, was murdered..
According to traditions dating back to the 4th century, it contains two sites considered holy in Christianity: the site where Jesus was crucified, at a place
known as Calvary or Golgotha, and Jesus's empty tomb, which is where he was buried and resurrected. Calvary (Latin: Calvariae or Calvariae locus) or Golgotha (Greek: Γολγοθᾶ, translit. Golgothâ). via
Within the church proper are the last four stations of the Cross of the Via Dolorosa, representing the final episodes of the Passion of Jesus. The church
has been a major Christian pilgrimage destination since its creation in the 4th century, as the traditional site of the resurrection of Christ, thus its
original Greek name, Church of the Anastasis ('Resurrection'). via
The main denominations sharing property over parts of the church are the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic, and to a lesser
degree the Coptic, Syriac, and Ethiopian Orthodox churches. via
According to Jewish tradition and scripture, the First Temple was built by King Solomon, the son of King David, in 957 BCE, and was destroyed by
the Neo-Babylonian Empire, together with Jerusalem, in 587 BCE. No archaeological evidence has been found to verify this, but scientific ex-
cavations have been limited due to religious sensitivities. The Second Temple was constructed under the auspices of Zerubbabel in 516 BCE,
was renovated by King Herod, and was destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70 CE. Orthodox Jewish tradition maintains it is here that the
third and final Temple will be built when the Messiah comes. via
Jewish Christians were the followers of a Jewish religious sect that emerged in Judea during the late Second Temple period (first century CE).
These Jews believed Jesus to be the prophesied Messiah, but maintained the observance of Jewish law. Jewish Christianity is not the
foundation, but the cause of Early Christianity, which later developed into Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. via
"The Sermon on the Mount" by Carl Bloch (1834-1890)
Christianity started with Jewish eschatological expectations, and it developed into the worship of Jesus as the result of his earthly ministry,
his crucifixion, and the post-crucifixion experiences of his followers.

The Old City of Jerusalem is a walled area in East Jerusalem Muslim Quarter the Temple Mount and Dome of the Rock the Jewish Quarter
The Old City is today divided into four uneven quarters, in a tradition which may have begun with an 1840s British map of the city; these are the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Armenian Quarter, and the Jewish Quarter. A fifth area, the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as Al-Aqsa or Haram al-Sharif, is home to the Dome of the Rock, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and was once the site of the Jewish Temple. via

Also located on Mount Zion, is David's Tomb (Hebrew: קבר דוד המלך Kever David Ha-Melekh; Arabic: مقام النبي داود Maqam Al-Nabi Daoud), a site that according to an early-medieval (9th-century) tradition, is associated with the burial of the biblical King David. Historians, archaeologists and Jewish religious authorities do not consider the site to be the actual resting place of King David. It occupies the ground floor of a former church, whose upper floor holds the Cenacle or "Upper Room" traditionally identified as the place of Jesus' Last Supper and the original meeting place of the early Christian community of Jerusalem.

Ophel, (The City of David) (Hebrew: עיר דוד, romanized: ʿĪr Davīd), known locally mostly as Wadi Hilweh (Arabic: وادي حلوة), is the name given to an archaeological site considered by most scholars to be the original settlement core of Jerusalem during the Bronze and Iron Ages. It is situated on southern part of the eastern ridge of ancient Jerusalem, west of the Kidron Valley and east of the Tyropoeon Valley, to the immediate south of the Temple Mount. via

There have been attempts at identifying the lower, possibly Roman-period layers of the building housing the so-called "Tomb of David" and the Cenacle, as the remains of the house of worship of this presumed Jewish-Christian congregation. via
