The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the "Resurrection Hall", is located in the Old City of East Jerusalem, Israel. This is the site of Jesus' tomb, a holy site for Christianity, and one of the major Christian churches in Jerusalem. The church is significant as the place where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected. It holds special meaning for Christians. Legend has it that before Jesus was crucified, he carried the heavy cross along the "Via Dolorosa" to the execution site. It is a religious holy site for Christians and a must-visit place in Jerusalem.
The Via Dolorosa, the road in the Old City of Jerusalem, is believed to be the route Jesus took as he carried the cross to his crucifixion. It is marked by 14 stations representing different events along the way. This route was established in the 18th century and is considered a sacred pilgrimage for Christians.
The Mount of Olives is located east of the Old City of Jerusalem, with an elevation of 808 meters.

Additionally, according to ancient Jewish legends, the Messianic age will unfold on the Mount of Olives. Hence, for centuries, the Mount of Olives has been regarded as a sacred mountain in both Judaism and Christianity.
