The Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem is the most sacred place in the world for Christians.

The temple houses the revered Tomb of Jesus Christ, surrounded by a richly decorated Edicule.

As a result of a historic decision that was made in connection with the danger of destruction of the shrine, 

a large-scale restoration was carried out in the Tomb of Jesus Christ. The Holy Tomb has been restored to its former glory.

Unique marble stones were collected from the place of repair, which I have the honor to present to your attention.

The enduring memory and symbolism of this marble material has been preserved for more than 15 centuries.

At present, the Holy Burial Site of Our Lord Jesus Christ has been re-sealed with its original marble facing 

and may remain hidden for tens, hundreds and even thousands of years.

 

Includes:

- One marble fragment collected at the site of restoration.
