In the charity's own words

The Garden Tomb is a principal Protestant site in Israel. Over 400,000 visitors annually are guided by GT volunteers and shown things there on the night Jesus died. It may or may not be the exact site but it offers a great teaching aid to discuss the importance of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has been run by the charity since 1894,and is a very special place of worship.
