In origin, the photo was taken in bleack and white and it was colored afterward. The chapel which describes here is a Greek Orthodox Chapel.

On the right of the photo there is the Catholic Chapel (It describes well the complexity of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher). Calvary (Golgatha) is the English-language name given to the site, outside of Ancient Jerusalem's early 1st century walls, ascribed to Jesus' crucifixion. The exact location is handed down from antiquity. In some Christian and Jewish traditions, the name refers to the location of the skull of Adam. The word 'Calvary' comes from Calvaria in the Latin Vulgate.
