Tomb Of Jesus
December 5th, 2006
The tomb of Jesus can refer to a number of different locations:
- The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, accepted as built on the ground (including the Hill of Calvary or Golgotha) on which Jesus was crucified and buried by most scholars and Christians.
- The Garden Tomb, discovered in the 19th century outside of Jerusalem, is considered the actual site of Jesus’ grave by some Christians
- The Roza Bal shrine in Srinagar, Kashmir, venerated by locals as the grave of a sage, is believed by Ahmadi Muslims to be the burial site of one Yuz Asaf, whom they identify with Jesus.
- Shingo, Aomori in Japan, another place according to local lore where Jesus alledgedly fled to after the crucifiction.
