A temple, a visit to which is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent! A place with an incredible atmosphere, where time slows down, where much ceases to be important and meaningful. The greatest Shrine and a place of special grace. It is a must for all Orthodox people to visit! It is best to visit in the morning, before many tourist groups arrive.
And it was here... Only in the hidden myth, as the famous writer Dina Rubina called Yerushalayim, one can feel that all this really happened and is possible, exactly as it is written in the Bible.
To hear the sound of flagellation on Golgotha, climbing a narrow staircase with high steps. They will touch ancient stones, light candles (in the Greek chapel they give out for free, unlike in the Armenian one), get into the Kuvuklia, see a Palestinian Christian at the gates of the temple, on a bench, who, according to legend, has the keys to the church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The most wonderful cathedral in the world! It feels like a Holy place and the main thing is that it absolutely keeps up with the times, there are no conventions that are present in the absolute majority of Orthodox churches, I felt free, even better than in a Church!
