Tomb of Jesus

Tomb of Jesus

There are several locations which people have claimed to be the tomb of Jesus:

*The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, accepted by most Christians and scholars as built on the ground (including the Hill of Calvary or Golgotha) on which Jesus was crucified and buried.
*The Garden Tomb, discovered in the 19th century outside of Jerusalem, is considered the actual site of Jesus' grave by some Christians.
*The Roza Bal shrine in Srinagar, Kashmir, a city that Jesus allegedly fled to after the crucifixion.
*Shingo, Aomori in Japan, another place according to local lore where Jesus allegedly fled to after the crucifixion.
*The Talpiot Tomb, discovered in Talpiot, Israel in 1980, which is alleged to have held the remains of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and others; the subject of the 2007 documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus".

A biblical and theological discussion of the tomb of Jesus can be found at empty tomb.
