None

JERUSALEM- Christian officials have launched historic restoration work at the Tomb of Jesus inside the Church of Holy Sepulcher, site where tradition holds Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected.

 

The works are the first in almost two centuries that will focus on repairing, reinforcing and conserving the structure.

 

Pilgrims will be able to continue visiting the site while the work is underway. It's expected to last up to a year.
