The Church of the Holy Sepulchre—traditionally recognized as the site of Jesus’s crucifixion and burial—has been closed to the public, with church authorities citing security concerns ahead of Easter. The closure has been described as rare and precautionary, occurring amid heightened regional instability and security risks in Jerusalem.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of Christianity’s holiest sites, which typically draws up to four million visitors annually. The church is said to be the site of both the crucifixion and the empty tomb, only a few dozen meters apart inside one large complex. It is almost never closed.
“At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.” – John 19:41
Now it's closed its doors due to the war – just weeks before Easter.
Iran has launched missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, including strikes that hit energy infrastructure such as an oil refinery in Haifa, where damage has been reported. Israeli defense reporting indicates the Israel Defense Forces is at times selectively not intercepting certain incoming munitions, including cluster bomblets, in order to conserve interceptor resources.
Israeli officials have acknowledged sustained incoming attacks and impacts, as the conflict continues to expand across multiple fronts.
The church closing it's doors before Easter is disappointing. Good thing Jesus is alive, otherwise it would be very sad!
He is risen!
