In contradistinction to this modern identification, the traditional site where the death and resurrection of Christ are believed to have occurred has been the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at least since the fourth century.
Berseberangan dengan identifikasi modern tersebut, situs tradisional dimana kematian dan kebangkitan Yesus diyakini terjadi berada di Gereja Makam Kudus sejak sekitar abad keempat.
