Calvary (2)

A general view of the Greek Orthodox shrine at the site of the crucifixion (Calvary or Golgotha). The venerated spot of the crucifixion is under the low altar. Just in front of the glistening frame is an opening through which one can actually touch bedrock. On both sides of the altar, behind the glass casing, bedrock is visible.
