Also referred to as the Church of the Resurrection by Greek Orthodox Christians, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is treated by many as the holiest site in all of Christendom. According to tradition Jesus was crucified outside the walls of Jerusalem's Old City and then buried in a nearby garden. This church, built by Constantine the Great's mother Helena when she visited in 326 CE, is supposedly located on the site of that crucifixion.
