The Tomb of Jesus
ROBERT HOUSTON SMITH
The CoIlege of Wooster
It is Sunday morning in Jerusalem. You leave the modern part of the City, with its blaring automobile horns, and enter the massive, erenelated Damaseus Gate whieh stands astride the northern wall of the Old City. At once you are in another world. fiere, too, is noise, but of a quainter sogt: the clopping of donkeys' hooves, the elinking of teacups and the clattering of gameboard pieces.
The past envelops you. Patinated limestone buildings, some of which were perhaps standing when the vietorious Muslim general Saladin entered Jerusalem nearly eight hundred years ago, crowd upon one another, separated by narrow lanes that climb and descend in every direction. Some of the streets, straighter than the rest, were laid out by Roman engineers in the 2nd century.
Walk south along one of these Roman streets, the Khan ez-Zeit. This "Street of the Oil Merchants," though barely a dozen feet wide, is one of the City's arteries. On either side tiny shops vie with one another for the passer-by's attention. Wares load the sagging tables, hang from the Ceilings and overflow the thresholds. A few shops, belonging to Christians, are closed; otherwise Sunday is like any other day along this street....
