The Holy Grail Church is a Christian church in the old city walls of Jerusalem, called the Church of the Resurrection by the Orthodox Church.
Holy Grave
The Holy Grave is also known as the blasphemy of Jesus, Hz. The place where Jesus was buried after the crucifixion and the name of the church there. According to the Bible, Because the grave of Jesus is near the place where the cross is stretched (John 19: 41-42), the church was built with the thought of incorporating both places.
The Holy Sepulcher Church is located in the northwestern part of the Old Town in Jerusalem. The first church there was built by Roman Emperor Constantine I, who had adopted Christianity. In 614 this Sasanite church was restored by Assyrian Modestos between 616-626. The Byzantine emperor IX, who once again destroyed the Caliphate in about 1009. Konstantinos (Monomakhos) onartism. In the 12th century, the Crusaders made a general repairs to the church. After that date, the church, which was often repaired, took its present form in 1810.
Since the 4th century, the area where the church was located was Hz. It was accepted as the place where Jesus died, buried, and rebuked. But this acceptance has always led to heated discussions. For 300 years before the 4th century, It is very difficult for them to create a tradition that reflects the truth about where Jesus died and buried. The Christians in Jerusalem fled to Pella in about 66, and Jerusalem in the 70's was destroyed by the Romans. The wars, devastations and confusion that followed the centuries have probably prevented the preservation of accurate information.
Another problem concerns the orientation of the second northern part of the Old Town. It is considered that the archaeological remains on the eastern and southern sides of the Church of the Holy Grail show the direction of the second sword. If this assumption is correct, the area where the present church is located is Hz. It must be just outside the city wall in the time of Jesus; therefore, Hz. This may be the place where Jesus was crucified and buried. Based on the available evidence, Hz. There is no other place claimed to be Jesus' grave. Today, the church is divided into different sections under the supervision of different Christian groups such as Greek, Catholics, Armenians and Kopt, and regular prayers are open.
The Ottomans in the Church in Jerusalem are still valid
The wooden ladder on the balcony at the entrance of the Bible Church where Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the place to be rebuilt is kept in the same place for 159 years in accordance with the edict of the Ottoman sultan Abdulmecid
In Jerusalem, struggles among members of the Christian sects to share sacrifices by serving sacred sites led to the death of dozens of people
The Ottoman State equally divided the church among the sects in order to carry out the cleaning and care of the Holy Grail Church
In Jerusalem, the wooden ladder on the balcony above the entrance of the Holy Qur'an Church, where Christians believe that Jesus is the place to be rebuilt, is held in the same place for 159 years in the same place for 159 years due to the imperial decree of the Ottoman sultan Abdulmecid.
Hz. The church which was built in "Golgotha", which is the hill where Jesus is crucified, is also known as "Doomsday Church" and "Kemame Church".
The reason for the stairs to remain in this form is the ferman published by the Ottoman sultan after the death of dozens of bloody quarrels among the priests and their followers who belonged to different sects in the church when Jerusalem belonged to the Ottomans.
Very close to Masjid al-Aqsa
According to historical sources, the Ottoman administration was divided among the 4 Christian communities at that time by the control of the Holy Qur'an Church, which is very close to the Masjid al-Aqsa. One of the successes of the Ottoman territory was the practice of "status quo", which was often achieved in the possession of the Christian sanctuaries, where discussions often took place.
The best example of this is the practice of the Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian and Syriac churches in the sacred Kabir Church.
The means of controlling a part of the church is to follow the worship, as well as the cleanliness of the place, to fulfill the religious rites and to carry out maintenance and repair if necessary.
Even the simplest practices, such as the removal and renewal of any decoration, the removal of a lamp from its hanging milk, took place within the framework of a "statute" law. Because all the sects wanted to take care of as much of the church as possible, new restoration projects led to clashes and sometimes bloody strife among the communities.
Ottoman State, Sultan III. In 1757, which corresponds to Mustafa's reign, he issued an edict which declared "status quo" in sacred places in order to take advantage of these conflicts. According to this fermat, the cleansing and care of the church was equally divided among the four Christian denominations. In 1757, while the fermade schools were distributed, the right to clean the courtyard was given to the Orthodox, and the right to clean the steps was given to the Catholicos.
In 1852, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Latin Catholic Church entered into the battle to clean up the steps of the stairway connecting the courtyard and the courtyard in front of the church. While the bottom of the steps was obviously stepping from one end, it was clearly seen as a part of the courtyard when viewed from the other end.
One day during the cleaning of the Sultan Abdülmecid's throne in 1852 one day, dozens of people died in conflicts that grew when they entered each other saying, "You are grabbing our favor."
The edict, published in 1852, stopped bloody events
When Istanbul was founded, Sultan Abdülmecid issued an order and proclaimed a new "status quo" in the holy places in Jerusalem:
"I will come to the sacred places, I will decide who cleanses the millimeter of the millimeter, and then moves a stone from its place." At that time, an Armenian priest was trying to clean one of the windows in the front of the church by pressing a wooden staircase he held. The chaplain was pulled down immediately, but when he wanted to lift the staircase he was intervened by saying no.
This staircase is still kept in the same place as the continuation of the status quo declared by the Ottoman Empire from that day. Today, the Ottomans decided to share between the sects and 159 years of stairs, the window stood as the engagement of this statute law.
As a matter of fact, the Ottomans sent the experts together and the spaces were re-divided into millimeters, and it was decided that the last step leading to the fight was Catholics right.
The Ottoman Fermani still valid
Restoration could not be done until 1967 due to the fact that the reconstruction of the roof was not shared in a fire in 1948. Finally, in 1967, when the region was conquered by Israel, sects reunited with Israel, an international commission could be established and the roof could be repaired by adding a new article to the Ottoman edict. Ferman still maintains the same validity today.
The Holy Qur'an Church is now being used by the Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church, the Syriac Kadim Orthodox Church, Alexandria Coptic Church and the Abyssinian Orthodox Church.
