Gordons Calvary / The Garden Tomb
Gordons Calvary. In the 19th century, a number of scholars disputed the identification of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with the actual site of Jesuss crucifixion and burial. In 1842, Otto Thenius proposed that a rocky outcrop outside the walls was Calvary (Golgotha), the place of the skull. The Garden Tomb itself was discovered in 1867, and was soon identified as the burial place of Jesus, mainly because of its location in the area that had been identified as Calvary. Another factor in its favour was the recent discovery the tombstone of the deacon Nonnus in the nearby Church of St. Stephen, which mentioned the Holy Sepulchre. The Anglican Church committed itself to the site as the place of Jesus burial and " Gordons Tomb" became the " Garden Tomb." The Church has since withdrawn its formal support, but the Garden Tomb continues to be identified by popular Protestant piety

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the serene beauty of the Garden Tomb, a site of profound historical significance in Christian tradition. In the 19th century, scholarly debates raged over the identification of the true location of Calvary, or Golgotha, the place of Jesus' crucifixion and burial. Otto Thenius, a German scholar, proposed in 1842 that a rocky outcrop outside the walls of Jerusalem was the site of Calvary. The discovery of the Garden Tomb in 1867 added further weight to this theory, as it was located in the area identified as Calvary and contained a tomb that closely resembled the biblical description of Jesus' burial place. The tomb's proximity to the tombstone of the deacon Nonnus, which mentioned the Holy Sepulchre, also lent credence to the theory. The Anglican Church formally committed itself to the site, and it became known as "Gordon's Tomb," a popular destination for Protestant pilgrims. While the Church has since withdrawn its formal support, the Garden Tomb continues to be a powerful symbol of the Christian faith and a site of reflection and contemplation for visitors from around the world.
