Beside (Constantine's church which is called Martyrium. and to the west appears the Golgotha Church, in which one sees the rock which bore the Cross to which the Lord1s body was fixed. Now it hoIds a great silver cross, with a great bronze wheel hanging above for lights. And below Olis place of the Lord's Cross cut in the rock is a crypt, on the altar of which the Sacrifice is customarily offered for .the honoured dead, when their bodies have been placed on the bier. To the west of this church is the Anastasis, that is of the Lord's resurrection.
