In the temple of the Holy Sepulcher, and how guides are called the Temple of the Resurrection of Christ, I have already twice. And I would like to write about your impressions, especially on the eve of the Easter holiday. After all, it is in this temple that comes fell fee and now many people would like to visit this place and become witnesses such a miracle.
So, at the entrance to the temple, the first thing you can see this plate of world congestion. The place for which Jesus was put when they were removed from the cross. Now on this plate, people bless and illuminate icons, crosses, scarves, scarves, etc.
Next you need to be in the queue to go directly into the tomb, in which Jesus lay and the place on which he was resurrected. The queue is always very big, often begins near the entrance, so get ready to stand for a long time. Near the entrance is the Orthodox minister, which allows several people and shouts all the time to come out faster.
Photograph or shoot on camera is strictly prohibited. Strictly to the extent that the phone or the camera can pick up and break down and smash ... very evil these ministers in the temple. When you go to the tomb, you need to lean, there is a very small entrance. Immediately I will say that there is no time to pray there, you can only see the place where Jesus lay. The gracious fire is coming here.
After we visited the tomb we went to Calvary. Now the rise in the form of a staircase is right in the same temple. From Calvary remained part of the stone, it is under glass.
Near the Calvary, everything is somehow easier, you can pray there, take a picture, put candles, etc.
Summing up I can say that with children it is better not to go to this temple, there are a lot of people, the line is long, there is always noisy, etc. And another very important point I want to note that when you go to this temple, pay attention to the left, there will be a shop. Never sit down on it! It turns out that in this temple there is a keyboard, Arab, which opens and closes the temple every day and this shop is his place. I'm not knowing this sat there to relax, so they raised such a cry, ran, they screamed, then in Loman English asked me to leave ... Arabs are very nervous and evil, and I was still lucky that I was not broken (((
In general, the temple itself is very interesting. You can see a lot, find out interesting information, look at the place where Jesus died and rose, but orders who have started, very negative, and there all the time there is some kind of tension ...
