Jerusalem holds the holiest of places also for Christians: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the spot where Jesus was crucified and buried. It is the visitors rather than the church that make it feel like a holy site.
The days before Easter make Jerusalem a busy place: Christians from all over the world come here to visit the holy places in the holy city. Centrepiece of the attention is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre; hordes of (religious) tourists flock here. The church is built right over Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified and buried. It is the end station of the Via Dolorosa, the road Jesus is said to have walked with his cross in his final hours. The entrance of the church is on a small square, there is not much to hint that this is the holiest of places for Christians. No imposing building dwarfing the visitor, no immense square to make the passer by fill with respect.
