EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-18th century wood inlaid model of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is a testament to the rich history and enduring significance of Christianity in the Near East. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is the site traditionally believed to be the location of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This intricately detailed model was constructed according to plans presented in a book by Bernardo Amico, an Italian priest who served in the Holy Land from 1593 to 1597. The model, a precious gift from Morris Shalom of Paris, in memory of his late wife Sarah, is now proudly displayed at the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem. The intricate design showcases the various structures and features of the Church, including the Rotunda of the Anastasis, the Calvary, and the Aedicule, which enshrines the tomb of Christ. The model's intricate mother-of-pearl inlays add a stunning visual element, highlighting the intricacies of the Church's architecture and the devotion of those who created it. The model serves as a reminder of the deep connection between Christianity and the land of its origins, and the enduring importance of religious sites and traditions to the people of the Near East and beyond. The model's journey from the Holy Land to Paris, and finally to Jerusalem, is a testament to the global reach of Christianity and the enduring significance of its history and traditions. The model's presence in the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Near East and the role that religious sites and traditions continue to play in shaping our world today.
