The Garden Tomb

In 1999, my family took a Christmas trip to the Holy Land.  One of the most memorable experiences of that trip was attending a Christmas Day church service at The Garden Tomb.  The Garden Tomb is located near Skull Hill (Golgotha) and is believed by many to be the tomb Christ was laid in after His crucifixion.  Along with persons from at least 15 other countries, we worshipped together and heard a short Christmas message.  It was a beautiful morning and we all felt blessed to be there.

The lovely people that run The Garden Tomb do so in order to share the love of Christ with visitors and do not focus on His death but instead His resurrection and the eternal life He offers his followers.  What a wonderful opportunity to witness to so many people!

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. John 11:25-26
