It boggles the mind to think of the age of this place, the famous people who have stood inside, and how many millions have visited and prayed there.
billions 😊
nothing I want more than to attend a mass inside the Holy Sepulcher..
Beautifully presented video btw. Thank you
Me too it would be amazing to attend a Traditional Latin Mass there
Hey any more Trads here?
The Knights of St John of Jerusalem, called of Malta, that is, the Order of Malta even have a liturgy for this church. However, the newest Grandmaster, installed in dubious circumstances, banned its priests from offering the Mass of Ages publicly. I suspect that ban covers Medieval uses of the old Roman Rite.
@@flyingisaac2186 Okay is that allowed?
They only allow the Novus Ordo Missæ of Paul VI in there. All of the Susan's of the parish council are there reading the gospels in the vernacular and with their eucharstic lay ministers.
Jerusalem. Probably the most fought over piece of land on earth.
The priests there still fight each other.
carapo66 Yes lol, they do, never get in their way or the incense thingys they swing around
Duh..... really?
I dream so hard of going there .You lucky man .
thou shalt not be envious my brother, but inspired, amen.
My first time seeing a Catholic Mass celebrated at this holiest of sites. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed this!
It's beautiful 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video🙏🏻
God Bless you brother 🙏🏻
I been to this church I will remember that beautiful memorie for the rest of my life. Praise the Lord 🏴🏴🏴
Hello, Mr. Handsome. The first time I visited Jerusalem, I woke up early and rushed to the old city to visit the church. I scrambled through the Christian quarter, while most shops were closed, having only been to the old city the day before. Somehow I made my way to the church. It was about 7:30am. The church was abandoned, tourists hadn't overtaken the space yet, and the ghosts of the past were everywhere. Fantastic! I would love to visit Akko, for instance, with someone like you. I have been to Jaffa on several occasions, running up through the seaside entrance, imaging King Richard doing the same through the narrow streets to the main courtyard. I enjoy your videos immensely! Thank you so much for posting. We will be there again in November, after a cycling trip through Jordan and Israel. All the best!
Wow that's awesome!
Now you are a pilgrim. You defend the Holy City of God as truly as did any Crusader of old.
I live just an hour away in Ashdod. No matter how accesible it is to me I still find every visit a remarkable thing, though I have been there many times already. It never ceases to amaze.
Thank you for this very descriptive video. My bishop actually got to spend the night in this church. I am a priest who happens to be blind, so your descriptions were very helpful to me. Thanks for another wonderful video.
great account, these camcorder style captures are often the best to make one feel they are there.
2:59 Damn , the Kyrie Eleison .That is easily the oldest Gregorian Chant , maybe IInd century .Crazy .Really connects you to your faith in the Lord .
Well it would not have been called that a Gregorian Chant will it?
@@johnnotrealname8168 no the Kyrie when it began to be sung during Mass would not have been chanted like it was nowadays. I'm not sure how old the Mass XIII (Mass setting for the Kyrie used in the video) chants are but I don't think they're as old as OP is saying.
@@alfredolozano7486 Very nice to see this piece of holy art connecting us all, everywhere on earth
@@Sebi20070 Yes you are correct. I was referring to Mass VIII.
I love your videos, pliz keep on going
Thank you for this video sir.
Wish I could've been there with your group. Having someone with deep knowledge of the sites adds a valuable layer of understanding, making for a richer experience. Thanks for the upload.
I couldn't help but notice the man with his baseball cap on inside the church. Really?? I guess he wasn't taught to remove his cap when entering a CHURCH, especially when they're having mass.
Just as I enjoyed your video of the Hagia sophia, this one is just as good! Thank you for sharing for people who can't get to it themselves, looks great!🇺🇸🇬🇧✝️
Thank you very much for sharing this with us all. You did a great job.
That was moving for me when I was there. Everyone needs to experience it at least once.
Great Video… Visited Jerusalem in ‘ 92, after the 1st Gulf War…tourism was 1/2 of what it was and there weren’t throngs of tourists… the Christian sites were relatively quiet… visited the Holy Sepulchre 8 times…a fascinating place…one can almost feel the passage of time and the ages of this sacred place…
Thank you so much for sharing this with us....it is truly an amazing place.
Hi, I just discovered your channel couple of days ago and my biggest compliments its really great! I loved especially the episode about reynald - the untold truth! Always great to get a new perspective. I have a question to you/the plenum about the movie Kingdom of Heaven, which I ask myself for some time now:
You often see those teal dressed knights in the movie. Do they belong to any historical order or are they just hollywood? If yes which one?
Greetings from germany!
Wow,now I could say I seen it! Not in person of course but Amazing.
Love the footage! Hope there's more to come!
I was there recently too. 9th and 11th of August. It’s beautiful!
We should all be so lucky to go on such a pilgrimage
Wow, it must of been incredible to actually be there.
Great video. I`m looking forward to doing my own crusader trip in November.
Are you going part of an organized group? I would love to go but not on my own.
Fantastic camera work for a virtual tour.
An excellent video, showing mainly the interior of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Well filmed, with good commentary!
A beautiful presentation, thank you!
This architecture is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it. I’m big into the architectural traditions of my European ancestors, from Portugal and Spain all the way across the Continent through Asia Minor and into the Holy Land. These stones speak to me in a way mere words never could. God Bless you Brother.
2:30 not just Latin Christians, all Christians. At least, in my opinion. You can correct me if I’m wrong about that.
8:34 oh my gosh! So those cross arches are VERY reminiscent of cross arches present in the Ravenna Ostrogoth buildings of Theodoric’s Tomb and Basilica San Vitale and the Galla Placidia. The Gothic contributions to Romanesque architecture are severely understated by modern academics and it drives me crazy. But I see these characteristics in SO many later Germanic architectural traditions.
The modern term Gothic as a pejorative to describe Germanic architecture and art reminds me of how Frederick took the nickname Barbarossa allegedly for his red beard, but I think he was owning his heritage and saying “oh you Italians think we’re Barbarians, huh? How about you say it to my face?” As he marches his army back to Italy for the third time.
Holy Roman Emperor, indeed.
J. Stephen Roberts.. what an amazing video.. excellent as always...you have the gift of producing sacred beauty! I loved reading the comments section this evening!!! Thank you immensely!
Deus Vult
I’ll be visiting this church and Jerusalem in the near future. This video is exciting. Thank you for posting it.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for sharing.
One of your best videos. 👍
I want to go now, thank you.
When were the Crusader Era mosaics removed, and by whom?
I dream of seeing this in person one day. I would love to go to the Holy Land.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this video. I love the crusader columns. Hopefully one day i can make the journey myself . I wanted to ask you how you felt just being present in the holiest of holies ? I imagine a feeling of profound peace and tranquility.
Wow! Beautiful!
I live in Israel and find Christian history fascinating, coming from a half Jewish half Christian(orthodox) family.
There is quite a bit of interesting history from a lot of cultures and faiths in that region.
Very nice! I visited back in april of this year and it was the highlight of my trip to Israël and the palestinian territories.
I even lit a candle eventhough I'm not a Christian.
Such a significant sight for western civilisation
Amazing!
Did you notice the ladder on the wall. Because of the status quo, that ladder may not be moved.
The Church has been renovated under Israel's liberation in 1967.
Before 1967, all Holy places in Jerusalem were neglected and dilapidated, holy sites were used by Jordanians as latrines and ancient stones removed and used to build houses.
Thank you, thank you. My dream for as long as I can remember is to go to the Holy Land. Health and finances make that unlikely. As my husband reminds me we will see the New Jerusalem. To think all to this was done by hand!!! Absolutely breathtaking.
Very beautiful
Going there on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land this month and can hardly wait - to walk where Christ has walked and lived.
Stone of the anointing is a traditional belief it's not been proven by archaeologist. Although archaeologists do believe that the actual stone of the anointing is located within the same area.
Is there a definitive book on the history of the Holy Sepulchre?
I pray to go there, God willing.
You should organize a group trip!
I have to watch this for school...
I will be in Jerusalem for a year now😍
I prefer gto believe that the Garden Tomb, outside the city where you can see Golgotha, hill definitely looks like a skull, is where Jesus was buried. I have been to both sites.
amazing video.....thank you!!!
this place need some templars, those pilgrims look unprotected :D
I will just... talk to Pope Francis for a minute, dont mind me
Spectacular video! I so hope to go there, one day.
⭐GLORY GLORY GLORY TO THE KING OF ALL KINGS JÉSUS CHRIST OUR SAVOIR⭐
🌟AMEN🌟➕✨
Love to You my Jerusalem
1:38 What's the story about that ladder up there?
Thank you Jesus 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 1111.
I wanted to check on this before I posted...King Fulk was my 24th great grandfather. Love history and finding my far removed family members played a part in history.
It must have been great!
I love how they restored the tomb itself to it proper form. I wish the patriarchs would do the same to outside of the church. It doesn't need to look like St. Peter's Basilica, but I feel like should always compliment the importance of this place.
there must have been a boatload of military artifacts around there from the crusades are there any museums?
I went there in 2012. No that I'm baptized I would like to visit again.
Can anyone tell if these pilgrims at 6:11 are part of an order in the Catholic Church, or some Orthodox Church?
Orthodox it seems.
ILOVE JERUSALEM
Despite being a Protestant, these sites are interesting for me to see. I understand the historical importance of such sites, even though I question the accuracy of the claims for these sites.
I don't know enough about the late Roman era to comment on the authenticity. But honestly, I feel that most people expressing doubts about the authenticity are fairly fuzzy on early Christian history as well. For me what's relevant is the way these sites were viewed in the Crusader period.
What happened to the mosaics?
Is that an Orthodox mass or a western mass?
But it’s cool
Is there any orthodox presence in Jerusalem?
@Hona Hona I actually had no idea. I always assumed the Latins took over when they took the Holy Land during the Crusades and just supplanted the Orthodoxy sects.
There is Only One True Church. And it is the Church Christ founded upon, Not Andrew, Not St. Seraphim, not whatever eastern orthodox saint, but, wait for it..... PETER. One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
@@timothyfreeman97 LOL you do know that the Catholic Church broke away from the Orthodox Church right? If you want to say there is ONE TRUE church then it's the one out of Constantinople and not Rome.
@@Gonboo It sounds nice. But unfortunately, history isn't on your side with that one, mate.
All of the Early Church Fathers testified to the primacy of the Succesor of St Peter who was the Bishop of, not Constantinople, not Alexander, nor Antioch....not even the Holy City of Jerusalem, but rather, the Bishop of Rome.
Pax ✝️
Yes, there is a significant Orthodox presence in Jerusalem, mainly Arab Christians from the Greek rite. I have a few relatives there as my maternal grandfather originates from the holy city though he later moved to Galille where he settled and married my grandmother, then 1948 happened and his village was depopulated but his brothers continued living in Jerusalem though one later moved to Jordan.
I was hoping you'd show the tomb of king Baldwin IV
I looked for it. I don't believe it's there anymore.
@@RealCrusadesHistory
Yeah
I believe it was destroyed along with some others which is a shame.
Interestingly, as I understand it the kings tombs were there until the 19th century. They were destroyed during some of the upheaval during that time.
Name of the song please.
"The Fire" by Roman Lion
Who has (for lack of a term that escapes me) "jurisdiction" over the church? heard a Latin kyrie, but that could mean anything these days.
@@rick7102 thank you Rick, very interesting!
PLEASE... SONG NAME AT 3:28
Mass VIII Kyrie
It's the Kyrie. Lord have mercy,Christ have mercy,Lord have mercy. It's part of the mass and still often chanted especially in traditional Catholic parishes.
Thank you for your heart-felt words. Cleansing in our time of ubiquitous salacious, profane, sleazy, fake, propagandistic enticements.
That church and its contined existence is a testament to Crusaders' building achievement that put them as more legitimate heirs of Rome than the byzantines.
And I have so many examples in head.
I cant belive there are women wearing hats at mass that is so rude and disrespectful I can't hardly believe
