Outside the walls of the Old City, but right across the street by the bus station, is an alternate site for the crucifixion and burial of Jesus.

| This diagram show the inside of the tomb we're about to walk into that fits the description in the Bible |
 |
| You see the channel for the stone that was rolled to cover the opening |
 |
| The British have oversight of this area and have made lovely garden spots with places for groups to have communion |
 |
| Above the bus you can see a face looking at you - "the place of the skull", which is the meaning of Golgotha |
 |
| It was amazing to be here and think of all that took place long ago, if not exactly here, then nearby. |
