The mosaic shows<br />Jesus' body being removed from the cross with the skull of Adam in the ground beneath it (far right). This is why the chapel under the Greek Chapel at Calvary<br />is called the Chapel of Adam. According to tradition, Adam was buried under Calvary when he died. But, an even earlier tradition has Adam being buried under<br />the Most Holy Place on the Temple Mount. It appears this Jewish tradition followed the Christians from the Temple Mount to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.<br />To the left of the Calvary scene is the middle scene, showing the anointing of Jesus’ body. The third scene, furthest to the left, is the burial of Jesus’ body in the<br />tomb. All three of these events took place under the roof of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher."Fayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709589526901772497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409030829512383.post-84891967932662691632016-03-27T13:06:29.208-05:002016-03-27T13:06:29.208-05:00We're very happy you all enjoy the photos.

Thanks so much for sharing them!<br /><br />I'm not a believer, but I love these two Gospel verses: John 1:1 and 1:14<br /><br /><i>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.</i><br /><br />"The Word" in the original Greek of the Gospels was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos" rel="nofollow">Logos</a>.<br /><br />I always wondered about the whole "Word" thing ever since we sang Cat Stevens' songs in Unitarian Sunday school. lewy14https://www.blogger.com/profile/07524380685282662887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409030829512383.post-16792000150340863202016-03-27T01:22:13.230-05:002016-03-27T01:22:13.230-05:00Happy Easter everyone!

And the lamps are gorgeous! <br /><br />I'm so excited at the thought of going to Israel someday! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us!<br /><br />Thanks for including the links too.
