Excavations at Church of Holy Sepulchre yield historical treasures

Archaeological experts from Rome have concluded their meticulous work in a highly delicate section of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as reported by the Custodia Terrae Sanctae, the entity overseeing Christian holy sites in Israel.

The University of Rome Sapienza’s Department of Antiquities conducted the excavation around the Holy Edicule, the primary tabernacle, as part of a NIS 41 million ($11 million) two-year renovation and archaeological project.

In accordance with Christian tradition, this revered site is believed to be the location where Jesus was crucified just beyond Jerusalem’s ancient walls 2,000 years ago, and where he was laid to rest in a nearby cave tomb.

Archaeologists tirelessly worked for a continuous period of seven days and nights, from June 20 to 27, meticulously excavating the area in front of the Edicule, the Times of Israel reported.
