    Restoration of Jesus’s burial shrine completed

    Restoration of Jesus’s burial shrine completed

    The article had to be corrected because the reporter didn't know basic Christian history. Anyway the part of the article that I liked is later:

    The restorers also made some discoveries.

    On Oct. 26, the team entered the inner sanctum of the shrine, the burial chamber of Jesus, and temporarily slid open an old marble layer covering the bedrock where Jesus' body is said to have been placed.



    Below the outer marble layer was a white rose marble slab engraved with a cross, which the team dated to the late Crusader period of the 14th century. Beneath that marble slab was an even older, grey marble slab protecting the bedrock, and mortar on the slab dates to the 4th century, when Roman Emperor Constantine ordered the Church of the Holy Sepulcher built.


    The restorers have cut a small window from the shrine's marble walls for pilgrims to see - for the first time - the bare stone of the ancient burial cave.
    "It seems we are in front of levels of history that are validated," said Antonia Moropoulou, who supervised the renovation.
