pilgrims wait as it is usually very quiet. The Tomb where Jesus was buried and later rose from the dead was hewn in a rock as we read in the Gospel. However when Christians were granted freedom to practice their faith they cut the section of the Tomb out of the rock and removed the remaining rock. In this way what used to be like a cave now is like a free standing structure. Later the structure was covered with marble to protect the rock and that what pilgrims can see today. The Tomb itself is made of two chambers. The bigger one leads to the actual place where Jesus was laid.

Christ is risen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alleluia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
