Good tomb. Nice virgin. Lots of icons, not Andy Warholized. Cultish... in a good way!

A beautiful site, according to Orthodox tradition this is the location of our Blessed Mother's empty tomb. I believe that no assertion is made to the location of her passing (dormition). A lovely little Eastern Orthodox chapel. Supposedly the place where the Virgin Mary was buried and later was resurrected - only her shroud was left behind. This is where the disciples entombed Mary after her death. Also the cave where Jesus was betrayed by Judas to the Romans and Pharisees for 30 pieces of Silver. The Tomb of the Virgin Mary is situated near the Church of All Nations and the Garden of Gethsemane. Visiting the tomb is a memorable experience: Visitors must go deep underground, down a staircase that was carved in the rock during the twelfth century. Immediately surrounding is a sparkling array of iconography, hanging from the ceiling and decorating the cave walls. Medieval art, including a painting of the Madonna and Child, adorn this sanctuary.

not a religious person but they welcome everyone who wanted to visit their respected chapel. just make sure to dress appropriately as you are entering a sacred place for them. remove your hat inside and avoid wearing shorts above knees. bring water as it is not easy to find shop to buy one in this place.

Interesting place. The church is quite simple, but impressive. There is a sharp contrast between sunlit exterior and dark interior. The interior is dark as a cave. You have to walk down many steps. Original floor was much lower than today.

Beautiful experience ! But it’s extremely disheartening to see that they do not allow Palestinian enjoy their own religion! Simply for being Palestinian (Even if you hold a passport from another country ! 🕊🇵🇸

Truly a blessing experience to come every year and light candles for the Virgin Mary 🙏

A beautiful site, according to Orthodox tradition this is the location of our Blessed Mother's empty tomb. I believe that no assertion is made to the location of her passing (dormition). Varies from quiet and reverent to crowded with irreverent tours - even during Divine Liturgy. They try. Truly worth a visit and set aside time for prayer. From where I stayed easy to get to by bus 1 to Jericho Rd / Lion's Gate Stop but there are other buses. Short walk from stop. This is the same stop for the Garden of Gessemane. On the way back the bus 1 loops around the Old City or you can walk through the Lion's Gate and walk the Via Dolorous.

I went on a Tuesday where it opened up after 230 pm. You walk into this place underground and since no cameras were allowed I decided not to take any photos or videos of the inside but there is a shrine like place where a lot of people are on their knees in front the tomb. I was wearing a cap and was told to take that off for whatever reason

The Tomb of the Virgin is a beautiful cave with many oil lamps and gorgeous icons dedicated to the Theotokos and Christ. See her empty tomb, light a candle, and spend a few moments just being in the space or praying. I found that it was more peaceful than other, busier holy sites (like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre), but it is still a tourist spot so don't expect serenity. I definitely recommend going, even just for a bit, as it is right by the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations anyway.

Tomb of Virgin is located in a very beautiful and peaceful cave. I hihgly recommend to Visit this site as well as it is not that touristic and also for the wonderfull architecture.

A lovely little Eastern Orthodox chapel. Supposedly the place where the Virgin Mary was buried and later was resurrected - only her shroud was left behind.

Filled with spirituality. It also contains the Grotto where Jesus is supposed to have met the Disciples before he was betrayed by Judas.

One of the beautiful place in Jerusalem.

This is one of the places I'd totally recommend for a visit. The church itself is underground and it's very peaceful and not too touristy, at least when I visited in February. You can buy souvenirs for a donation. It's calm and you can pray here if you're religious, unlike many other places in Jerusalem.

Nice church to visit, be aware that there might be a que

Location believed to be the burial site for the Virgin Mary. Grand stairs lead down to this site. It can get busy at times with your groups coming through.
