Overview

Archaeologist and tour guide Emily Cavins has written this guide to aid pilgrims in unraveling the mystery of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which at first visit seems to be a confusing mixture of structures and rooms unlike any church. This pilgrim’s guide shows each phase of the Tomb of Christ and Golgotha from the first century through the Crusader Era using illustrations by Valerie Woelfel, which are drawn as though the viewer is standing in the courtyard of the current church looking at the entrance. Valerie has also drawn several map diagrams of the different phases of Jerusalem from an aerial perspective to help the pilgrim understand the changes over the many centuries. Each chapter has a very brief synopsis about the illustration, followed by a fuller description of each of the following eras:

• The time of Christ
• The time of the Roman Emperor Hadrian
• The time of Constantine
• The time of the Crusaders

This booklet emphasizes the continuity of pilgrimage to this holy site and encourages the reader to enter into the experience as though this place belonged to them.
