About The Garden Tomb

The Garden Tomb is an ancient rock-cut tomb surrounded by a garden, right outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem, that functions as a site of Christian pilgrimage attracting hundreds of thousands of annual visitors, especially Evangelicals and other Protestants, as some Protestant Christians consider it to be the empty tomb where Jesus of Nazareth resurrected. This is in contrast to an older tradition that locates the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus at a site roughly 600 metres (0.37 mi) to the south known as Golgotha and located within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
