Visiting Calvary and the Tomb of Christ

As we consider the purpose and meaning of Christ's crucifixion on this Good Friday, here is a report from the weekly PBS program Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, which shows two of the places that are thought to be the locations of Christ's crucifixion and burial.  One location is located inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, first built in the 4th Century.  Another is the "Garden Tomb," unearthed in the 19th Century.

While the debate is interesting, I share this during the holiest of weeks so that we -- who are not privileged to be in the Holy Land this year -- might see better the context of Christ's death and burial.
