An Empty Tomb Fills An Empty Heart

A queue was there, a seemingly never-ending queue of seemingly impatient groups of tourists awaiting the turn of their group as led by their tour guides.

This is at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher also called the Church of the Resurrection.

The Rotunda (above) and the Aedicule (below)

Forbidden inside the cave-like structure where the empty grave of Jesus lies, are cameras. No photos of the grave itself then, just the exterior as seen at the background. It is holy ground, truly sacred. The shoulders of women must be fully covered.

A hole at the side gives us a glimpse of people before they enter the grave.

The sight of the empty tomb dawned unto me the deep significance of it all . . . the resurrected Christ after His passion and death on the cross for us.

It gives us hope and a reminder of a future glory with Him.
