MirrorUK; For decades debate has raged over whether the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem really is the site of the most famous miracle of all.
The shrine is supposed to contain the tomb where Jesus Christ ’s body lay for three days after his crucifixion.
The tomb has been sealed in marble since at least 1555 – and possibly centuries longer – to protect it from pilgrims who kept stealing pieces as holy relics.
But over the preceding centuries the church had been destroyed and rebuilt so many times there were doubts about what it contained.
Now the tomb’s marble lid has been removed for the first time in five centuries – revealing a miraculous discovery.
There, unseen for half a millennium, was the limestone shelf where Christ’s body is thought to have been placed.
The researchers also discovered a second grey marble slab no one knew existed, engraved with a cross they believe was carved in the 12th century by the Crusaders.
Archaeologist Fredrik Hiebert of National Geographic, which was a partner in the project, says: “The most amazing thing for me was when we removed the first layer of dust and found a second piece of marble. more
great article. what is strange is that a muslim family has the only key to building! they open it for viewing and muslims have done so for 500 years. why can’t the pope get a key?
The DNA of Jesus will be found on the slab. Scientists will then be able to clone Jesus multiple times. You heard it here first, folks.

I just watched the episode of “Grimm” where Nick unearths a small slab of the wood from the Cross of Christ. At least that is what I assume it is since it healed Monroe’s arm.
Now I come across this article. Things happen in three’s. Trinity anyone? I wonder what the next reference of Him will be today? Maybe he’ll lower the veil to reveal himself to me and say, “Jerry. Get a grip on your thought life my son.” 😇

If a marble shelf is “miraculous”, what does a granite counter top qualify as?
Sorry, my ass is showing again. But just… dang.

See Billy, mock the lord and you become “Anonymous”
For a second I thought it was going to be announced that they uncovered another 10,000 lost votes for Al Franken.
@aleon: Sure must be a lot of Lord-mockin’ trolls around here, then.
they were to ACTUALLY FIND BONES?????
lol……guess they didn’t read the Book……
exsqueeze me……keebored malfunction…..actual comment follows:
they were ACTUALLY EXPECTING TO FIND BONES?
lol….guess they didn’t read the Book……
checked and double checked for accuracy…… 🙂
@chuckie: Plot twist: They actually found bones, but had to keep it a secret. Didn’t want to mess up sales of the Book.
🙂
to use a frequently misunderstood quote, “i will pray for you”
actually, we prayed for all yall who think God is some kind of a joke this very morning, in our little independent church….
…
i hope you were being facetious/sarcastic/ironic, and not seriously implying that the actual bones of my risen saviour were found in the tomb, and it was being “hushed up” because it would affect Bible sales..
..because He didn’t leave behind any bones…..probably didn’t leave behind any DNA either…..
by the way, sales of Bibles are booming all around the world – just not here, in “non-judgemental” – unless you are a Christian bakery that doesn’t want to bake GAY wedding cakes, in which case, you WILL BE JUDGED AND CONDEMNED for THAT kind of behavior….
we shall see what happens in january……i’m hoping to revive my devastated, deteriorated ribbons around my old maple tree with brand spanky new vibrant reds and whites and blues, to celebrate the rebirth of my country…..and hopefully celebrate God’s renewed blessings on it, as well….
believe or don’t believe…..it actually makes a difference in your life……your choice, of course….
