The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. The church contains, according to traditions, the two holiest sites in Christianity: the site where Jesus was crucified, at a place known as Calvary or Golgotha, and Jesus's empty tomb, where he was buried and resurrected. The tomb is enclosed by a 19th-century shrine called the Aedicula.

The church has been a major Christian pilgrimage destination since its creation in the fourth century, as the traditional site of the resurrection of Christ, thus its original Greek name, Church of the Anastasis ('Resurrection').

Today, the wider complex around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre also serves as the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem, while control of the church itself is shared among several Christian denominations and secular entities in complicated arrangements essentially unchanged for over 160 years, and some for much longer. The main denominations sharing property over parts of the church are the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Armenian Apostolic, and to a lesser degree the Coptic Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox.

La iglesia del Santo Sepulcro es un santuario religioso del cristianismo situado en la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalén..

La iglesia contiene dos lugares sagrados en el cristianismo: el lugar donde Jesucristo fue crucificado, denominado Calvario o Gólgota y la tumba vacía de Jesús, donde fue enterrado y resucitó. La tumba está cubierta por un santuario del siglo XIX conocido como Edículo. Actualmente se encuentra bajo la custodia de diversas confesiones cristianas, entre ellas católicos, armenios ortodoxos y ortodoxos.
