2015 World Cruise Page 305 Jerusalem, Israel

Then Harrison took us to a chapel within the church dedicated to St. Helena who came to Jerusalem in search of the location of the cross and the tomb. She found a place where fragments of a cross were found. When a cross was taken down it was customary to throw the cross aside and leave it on the ground – rather than dispose of them, they were left to disintegrate, leaving fragments behind. At the same location she found a tomb that fit description and location as described in the Bible.

My knees were killing me but I was determined to climb up the steep stairs to back up to the main level. Bill and Harrison were great about helping me climb the stairs until we got back to the main level, which was the level where we had entered – then Harrison took us into a room where we saw cases in the wall showing a lot of exposed rock.

He explained that this was actually the rock of Calvary in its original location – it had not been disturbed except to have the casing placed over it so it could be viewed but not be touched. He pointed out cracking in the rock which is believed to have happened at the moment when Jesus died and an earthquake shook.

Matthew 27:50-54 reads:

“Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, ‘Truly this man was God's Son!'”
