Beneath the incense-filled vaults of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the most intricate and profound archaeological operations in the Holy Land is unfolding. What began in 2022 as a restoration project for the church’s deteriorating floor has become a journey into the deep layers of sacred history.

What’s being uncovered in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is far more than ancient debris. These stones speak of resurrection, of memory carved in limestone, of faith that survived suppression, and of a sacred landscape still alive with meaning.
The Church, once a quarry, garden, and tomb, remains a living symbol of hope—a place where stones testify, and where the silence of centuries gives way to voices of prayer and discovery.
Please take a moment to read about the important ongoing excavation and advanced historical record being discovered in the Holy Sepulchre.
