Where was Jesus buried?


There is a tomb in Jerusalem where some say that Jesus was buried. This is The Garden Tomb.


This is a serene garden in the midst of the busy city where it is quite possible that Jesus was buried.
There are many reasons why this COULD be the burial place of Jesus, the garden does fit the details described in the gospel accounts, but there is no proof.


 It was really interesting to be able to walk right into the tomb, to get an idea of what the tombs looked like and where and how people were buried 2000 years ago in Jesus' time.


It was a great place to reflect on the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the women who came to annoint Him and the disciples who did not find Him in the tomb but were told by the angel: "'Don’t be alarmed,' he said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.'" Mark 16:6


 As the commentary we listened to at the garden said, it isn't so important exactly where Jesus was buried, but why and for whom. For us there is no dispute that: Jesus Christ was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead." Romans 1:4

And Jesus Himself said: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though He dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die." John 11:25,26
