Oh no! What is wrong with people. A fight in a church?

Love how you used the map, so sad about the fight

I like the included info card. I am sorry that this one wasn't also a more moving experience for you.

This is so not what I would have imagined He would have wanted. The Garden Tomb would be more appropriate in my mind.

awesome. Love how you scanned the map.

Love the map. It was also very crowded when I was there. There was a group that was just pushing and getting so close that made us very uncomfortable.

It is not surprising that man has tried to make the location into something big and ornate - thinking that is the way to show their faith and belief. Man's work and understanding can never equal God's love and understanding. Man is so imperfect. Don't know if I am explaining it well. I love that map! Are there tours to the crypt of St. Helena?

thanks for posting the "map"- very informative and interesting. A fight though- really? seriously sad.

Oh y so sorry about the crowding and a fight. LOVE you used the map. I think it is the prettiest map ever. You scrapped it beautifully.

Interesting journaling--we did not go in, mainly because of the commercialization

I was very disappointed to find that the tomb was closed but even if it had been open, it would have been impossible to get to it. Needless to say, inside the church it was a madhouse of confusion as we watched processions for several hours! However, we were told the tomb would be opened later and I was determined to wait out the crowd!

I imagined how this place would have looked in Jesus' time – as it would have been as a place outside on a hillside without a big fancy church built over and all around it. All the marble, tapestries and gold and silver in this highly-decorated church made it very commercialized to me and I had to really focus to think about how it would have been 2,000 years in this is the location. This would have been just a barren hillside with a tomb on the side of the hill. At this point, rather than feeling anything spiritual I just felt exhausted, overwhelmed and almost suffocated from the crowd. It did not help that a fight actually broke out in the church while we were there which had to be broken up.
