Today was our final day in Jerusalem. It was also the day we had some free time to fill in whatever way we chose. I had a bit more shopping that I wanted to get done in the Old City of Jerusalem. But that morning we had one more place to visit as a group. 
The Garden Tomb is said to be the spot where Jesus was crucified and later buried. Golgatha translates to the skull. In the photos on the left show that the mountain adjacent to the garden resembles the human skull. The ancient tomb surrounded by a garden was discovered shortly after and convinced many that this is the true site of Calvary, the site of crucifixion. Like many of sites we visited, they were labelled "possibly" and left us with many maybe's. But from the evidence that is available today... this appears to be THE spot.
