Jerusalem private visit to holy sepulchre
Posted: Mon March 30, 2009 10:00 AM UTC
Is it possible to arrange to spend a five minute private visit into the holy sepulchre if organised in advance. That is to say spend five minutes alone in the holy sepulchre ? I have been but it is very difficult to get the sense of where you are and to time it between the services.

Since the Holy Sepulchre is controlled by several different Christian churches you would have to know which church controls the section that you want to spend the time in and then apply directly to them.

Off hand, and without specific knowledge, I would doubt that such a thing is possible.

Second thoughts - perhaps if you were to go very, very early in the morning before first Mass?

I was there very late at night around closing last April/May. It was not private but very little people were there, especially considering the crowds during the day.

Early in the morning may also be worth a try.
