The Garden Tomb vs. Holy Sepulchre

• ✝️ Chris Mitchell investigates the authenticity of two sites in Jerusalem claiming to be where Jesus was buried and resurrected: the Garden Tomb and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
• 🏞️ The Garden Tomb, managed by the Garden Tomb Association, is presented as a 2-acre oasis that aligns with the biblical account of a garden near Golgotha.
• 💧 Evidence supporting the Garden Tomb includes its proximity to a large, ancient cistern, crucial for a garden in the dry climate.
