where was jesus's tomb

Jesus’s burial place is traditionally associated with Jerusalem , most commonly either the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or, in some Protestant traditions, the Garden Tomb area nearby. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the oldest and most widely accepted traditional site among historians and Christians, while the Garden Tomb is a later alternative proposal.

Quick scoop

• Traditional location: Jerusalem, at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

• Alternative view: The Garden Tomb is also claimed by some Christians, but it is not the dominant scholarly consensus.

• What the sources agree on: Jesus was buried in a tomb near the crucifixion site outside the city walls of Jerusalem as they existed in the 1st century.

What’s known

The New Testament says the tomb was near Golgotha and that it was a new tomb.

Later Christian tradition identified that spot with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which has been venerated for centuries.

Bottom line

If you mean the main traditional site , it’s the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. If you want, I can also give you the short history of why that site is considered Jesus’s tomb.
