    A little respect?  — 6 months ago

    Worth visiting!

    This was a very calm, serene place, although it’s so close to busy streets. I just sat for awhile enjoying the quiet. People would go in and out of the door to the tomb, which is, after all, why people go there. But a group of tourists – middle aged people, mostly – with goofy hats (to ID each other with, I guess) stood outside the tomb while someone took their picture as they smiled and waved.

    I don’t have a clue where Jesus’ tomb might have been, but if I really believed this was the one, I’d feel uncomfortable waving at a camera and smiling the same way I’d pose at Disney World or someplace. I’d at least have taken the silly hat off!

    A review of this place: The Garden Tomb  — 2 years ago

    Worth visiting!

    This is thought by some to be the location of the burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s certainly a much, much more beautiful, reflective, and inspiring place than the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which is another suggested site. This is in a large, beautiful, and serene garden where you can sit and pray or reflect.

    A poem I wrote about my visit to the Garden Tomb  — 2 years ago

    The Garden Tomb – My sacred place

    As I look inside me and beyond my soul

    thinking of the past and it wrenching toll

    I try and think of where I would want to be

    If I had one special place…yes just for me

    would it be in the mountains I visited long ago

    or here deep inside me that Id want to go

    I think and think of what it could be

    and then I see it in my mind with glee

    I see a place of beauty and peace

    a place of reverance and the meek

    I see the garden and the tomb within which he lay

    a place where Mary once did pray

    I see my feelings of peace when I was there

    and remember there wasnt a scare

    I remember feeling the wind on my face

    slightly blowing by his grace

    The skull on the rock was a simple landmark to mankind

    but to me it was going back in time

    I remember thinking Im not worthy of this
    place…this ground so sacred and true

    this place where I realized there had to be you

    who you were I did not know

    but the feelings of peace only continued to grow

    Was I wrong for doubting you

    or was it there that in to me came the seed for you

    Now I am not perfect to say the least

    but you impacted me and gave me (if only for that moment)an inner peace

    so its been asked of me where is my sacred place

    and it is there I say without shameful discrace
