the church of holy Sepulcher

Large numbers of visitors from all continents make the trip to visit the Holy Sites in the Land of Jesus. A visit in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is one of the spiritual highlights of their journey. Yet, the sanctuary, although awe-inspiring, has become a tourist attraction with its inevitable crowds and perpetual agitation. The shrine is shared between several Christian churches in complicated arrangements, the result of tensions and power struggles.
