The Syriac Chapel in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre contains ancient Jewish burial chambers from the first century, including the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, which was a virgin tomb never used before Jesus's burial; this hidden chapel, often overlooked by visitors, offers a quieter, more intimate experience compared to the crowded main tomb chamber, and the site has been damaged by fire and renovations over the centuries.

The Forgotten Tomb Near Jesus in JerusalemAdded:
Tomb of Jesus. The tomb is divided into two.
The first chapel is the angel chapel who took care that no one will steal the body of Christ. The second chapel which is very close to here. It's the tomb itself which is empty. Oh, the ceremony.
uh ceremony will begin soon then although we are talking about the future birth just I want you to remember that he resurrected then it's not about only about the tomb it's about the future the resurrection to be born again and let us enter The guy said he is a guide and I think uh that was his wife and he said this is the best place in their church to see how the Jews used to be buried. Let me remind you again Jesus was a Jew.
Joseph of Ramita who gave Jesus his own tomb gave him a Jewish tomb.
Now we are talking about rich people cuz you know non rich Jew just dig hole and bury their dead.
Uh but rich family had their own mansion, a rock cut cave. And we know that that was the garden of a rich man of Joseph of Ramita. Let me use the flashlight. Aha, it's a good one.
And you can you can see here two chambers, two niches. There's another two which are blocked and there was more there but the um wall of the church just I don't know blocked part of the cave. Let me just go outside because I'm destroying my back and oops one I'm alive then when they do have a rich tomb or rich rocket rocket cave not rich you can buried let's say nine people but what will happen to the 10th one no more [singing] place for him then in that case what will happen before I will continue I will ask you to subscribe my channel I'm reaching 200,000 uh but it's not easy then I will be more than happy if you will be part of it and if you want to have your own cross and I have so many crosses not only that beautiful Cataly um go into the description, the text attached that video and click on it and you will see two links. Buy me a coffee and PayPal. If you want to support me, hallelujah only if you can. If you want to have your own cross, your own Bible, your own miso, choose one of it, buy it. I will get it for you. I will take a video on one of the places that you will ask in Jerusalem and I will send it to you. That cross of Curtis and Shelby will be at their place and I hope that that cross will arrive only the even after we will hear the good news of uh your birth of your pregnancy. Then before I will I will talk about why that room doesn't looks million like a million dollar then I want you to see that I want you to understand that that wall is from the first church ever 4th century church and it was covered with marble. You can see the holes. He was supposed to carry the marbles and there you can see so many holes. Marble and good stones. What's happening here? It's just a tomb.
First of all, that just the tomb shows you that it used to be a cemetery at the time of King Herod.
Secondly, whose tomb it is. Now we know from the Bible that that from John 19 that Joseph of Ramita who was part of the sanitary part of the maybe even the priest uh a Jewish family he had his own tomb but when he heard that Jesus was actually Jesus died he went straight to Pontaspilat.
He had good connection between those two. He had he had very good connection between him and Pontispilah. And Pontuspilah gave Jes gave Pontis sorry Pontto gave Joseph uh the body of Jesus.
Then you remember you have to bury him before sunset because at sunset it's the end and the beginning of a day. Today, if I'm not wrong, it's Wednesday. Um, at 5 or 6 p.m., 1600 hours, it will be already Thursday according to the Jewish calendar. Then in that case, he gave Jesus his own, which is you will see it soon, but it was his garden and he built himself of for his family at that maybe this is Joseph over Atheia or maybe even Nagimon. Not the monus maybe his tomb was here as well. And remember there are two chambers that are still closed.
I didn't I didn't actually ended the story about what will happen to the 10th body [clears throat] if there are only nine niches to bury the people. They will take out the bones of the first one who was buried here. They will put it in a small osery, a small box and then they will bury him in they will put it in a kind of a store room.
Now why it's very important for me because Jesus got a tomb that no one used before a virgin tomb.
Guys now you will understand that because that tomb was used so many times. Now why that room is not so beautiful? Why there are so many graffitis here? Which is for me horrible thing.
Why it looks like it was burned down. And look at the beautiful remains of the colors that you can see on the wall. And is that a chair?
Then that was an altar. In 1808, the church was burned down uh by a mistake when when they wanted to come back to here and I don't know who uh the others told them it's not yours anymore. And the church of Surya, the Assyrian church, they've got rights here every Sunday. Uh the mass the uh is here and the liturgy, the divine liturgy is here and um Ethiopians believed it's theirs as well. You got the message. They still argue who owns it.
The only difference is the floor that they uh renovated many [clears throat] years ago and mainly because it was full with sand and you know what will happen a little bit with wet legs and send a lot of mud and and then the church decided to replace it or then this is an altar and where Jesus was buried he already knows but let me show you it again.
Here it is.
And that used to be a rock cat cave just like Jesus.
Um just like Joseph of Rameia. Sadly they decorated it. It been destroyed so many times. Enemies of the Christians.
um fire the dome collapse. Then that structure is not so old but it been renovated lately.
