Easter, Golgotha and Jerusalem today

Its Easter today but we could not go to church because MM has to work.  My first Easter was in April 2003, very memorable and touching. 
Thank you Jesus for your sacrificial gift to us.

Jerusalem today.

The upper room is where Jesus had his last supper with his disciples

The route where Jesus bore his Cross through the city to Golgotha where he was crucified.

2) See video of Church of the Holy Sepulchre - (the site where Christ was crucified in ancient times)

Photos of some 1st century Jerusalem tombs (not Jesus's)

An ancient tomb cut into rocks. Thats how they bury the dead in those days, the corpse decomposes, bones are collected, and tombs re-used for others.

Another sample tomb located outside Jerusalem, with a 'rolling' stone to close the entrance.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
