Calvary (1)

View of the traditional site of Calvary. Tradition maintains that the exact spot of the placement of Jesus' cross was just below the altar. The rock of Calvary is exposed to the left and right of the altar, and can be viewed through the protective glass coverings. This chapel is controlled by the Greek Orthodox community.
