Tomb of the Virgin Mary (Mary’s Tomb)

Located just outside the gates of the Old City at the base of the Mount of Olives, the Tomb of the Virgin Mary, also known as Mary’s Tomb, is an Eastern Orthodox-style church. This site is revered by many Christians who believe it to be the empty tomb of Mary, the mother of Jesus. According to legend, when the tomb was opened, Mary’s body had vanished, a belief that underpins the Christian doctrine of the Assumption. Today, visitors can explore the church and its subterranean chambers, experiencing a place of deep spiritual significance and historical intrigue.
