was found; the point where Jesus ap-
peared to Mary Magdalene; the place
where the Centurion stood during the
crucifiXion, and the grave of Adam!
All these are the property of various
Christian sects-Greeks, Latins, Ar
menians, Copts, Syrians and Abyssin-
ians-all more or less jealous of each
other and distrustful of each others
relics. Opinions, of course, differ as to
the authenticity of these localities.
But genuine or not, there is no
doubt that the site of the Sepulchre
itself has influenced the fate of ma
tons more than any other spot on
earth. 1t caused the greatest event
of the Middle Ages (the Crusades),
and for it's possession and defense the
best and bravest blood in Christendom
has been freely shed.
The building was badly damaged by
the recent earthquakes in the Holy
Land. but in spite of it's damages it
stands today much as it appeared to
the crusaders centuries ago.
