Send Your Prayer to the Garden Tomb

About the Garden Tomb
A garden of reflection
Many Christians, especially from Protestant traditions, visit the Garden Tomb to reflect on the empty tomb and the hope of the resurrection.
Rock-cut tomb
The garden contains an ancient rock-cut tomb near a rocky escarpment that some identify with Golgotha, "the place of the skull".
Peace in the city
Away from the busy streets, the garden is a calm place of worship and prayer, visited by pilgrims from all over the world.
The Garden Tomb lies just north of the Damascus Gate, outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Since the late 19th century, many visitors have seen in this garden a picture of the place described in the Gospels, where Jesus was laid in a new tomb cut in the rock.
Whether or not it is the exact historical site, the Garden Tomb is cherished by Christians as a place to remember the empty tomb. Pilgrims sit among the olive trees, sing, read Scripture and pray quietly.
With our service, your own prayer can be part of that place. We print it on paper, a member of our Jerusalem team carries it to the Garden Tomb, and we email you a dated photograph of your prayer in the garden.
