A team of scientists and workers has completed repairs on what is said to be the burial place of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem’s Old City. It was the first time that workers have repaired the religious shrine since 1810. The project took nine months to complete. The area reopened to the public on Wednesday. The limestone and marble structure stands at the center of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, one of the world’s oldest religious centers. The shrine is considered among the holiest places in Christianity.
