The
Church
of
the
Holy
Sepulchre[b]
(Greek:
Ναὸς
τῆς
Ἀναστάσεως
Naos
tes
Anastaseos;
Armenian:
Սուրբ
Հարության
տաճար
Surb
Harut'yan
tač̣ar;
Latin:
Ecclesia
Sancti
Sepulchri;[c]
also
called
the
Church
of
the
Resurrection
or
Church
of
the
Anastasis
by
Orthodox
Christians)
is
a
church
in
the
Christian
Quarter
of
the
Old
City
of
Jerusalem.
The
church
contains,
according
to
traditions
dating
back
to
at
least
the
fourth
century,
the
two
holiest
sites
in
Christianity:
the
site
where
Jesus
of
Nazareth
was
crucified,
at
a
place
known
as
Calvary
or
Golgotha,
and
Jesus's
empty
tomb,
where
he
is
said
to
have
been
buried
and
resurrected.
The
tomb
is
enclosed
by
a
19th-century
shrine
called
the
Aedicula.[d]
The
Status
Quo,
a
260-year-old
understanding
between
religious
communities,
applies
to
the
site.
Within
the
church
proper
are
the
last
four
(or,
by
some
definitions,
five)
stations
of
the
Via
Dolorosa,
representing
the
final
episodes
of
the
Passion
of
Jesus.
The
church
has
been
a
major
Christian
pilgrimage
destination
since
its
creation
in
the
fourth
century,
as
the
traditional
site
of
the
resurrection
of
Christ,
thus
its
original
Greek
name,
Church
of
the
Anastasis
('Resurrection').
