The three Christian branches that have shared their holiest site for centuries are embarking on a large-scale project to restore the ancient stone floor of the Jerusalem basilica, the Worthy News website reports today (March 20, 2022).
The project includes an excavation that could shed light on the rich history of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, built on the site where Christians believe Jesus was crucified, died and rose again, the central event of the faith celebrated every spring on Easter.
It marks a further improvement of ties among the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Armenian Apostolic churches, which they share under a delicate arrangement dating back to the mid-19th century.
