The Garden Tomb is believed by many to be the sepulchre of Joseph of Arimathea and therefore a possible site of the resurrection of Jesus. The Garden is owned and administered by 'The Garden Tomb (Jerusalem) Association, a Christian non-denominational charitable trust based in the United Kingdom. The Garden Tomb is a quiet place preserved for worship and reflection.
Many visitors to Israel become preoccupied with ancient stones and sites, and as a result often miss the spiritual significance of the events that took place at those sites. At the Garden Tomb, the emphasis is on, not just the wonderful visual aid that we have of the Easter story, but on the spiritual message and meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The place is of historical importance but it is not as important as the person who died on that Roman cross and rose from the dead from that Jewish tomb.
