According to Christian tradition and gospel accounts, Jesus was buried in a tomb that originally belonged to Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man who offered his own sepulcher for Jesus' burial
. This tomb is traditionally believed to be located within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem
. The church contains what are considered the two holiest sites in Christianity: the place of Jesus' crucifixion (Golgotha or Calvary) and the tomb where he was buried and resurrected
. Archaeological evidence and scholarly research support the significance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre site, including findings of tombs linked to Joseph of Arimathea and plant remains consistent with biblical descriptions of the burial garden
. The church has been a revered pilgrimage site since the fourth century
. An alternative proposed site is the Garden Tomb, an ancient rock-cut tomb in Jerusalem favored by some Protestant Christians and Evangelicals as the possible burial and resurrection place of Jesus
. However, the Garden Tomb's identification as Jesus' tomb lacks strong archaeological or historical support compared to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
. In summary, the most widely accepted and historically supported location of Jesus' burial is the tomb within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, though some alternative sites like the Garden Tomb exist but are less substantiated
