About the place

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.
