Where is the tomb of Jesus?

Answer

He doesn't have one. After Jesus was put to death by crucifixion, the gospels record that a tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea (a wealthy follower of Jesus) was used to bury Jesus. This would have beed a chamber hewn out of rock in which there would have been a shelf for receipt of the body. The doorway would be sealed by a large rock or stone. Sometimes more than one body would be buried in the same tomb but the gosls record that the tomb was new and unused.

No one knows where this particular tomb was, but several candidates can be found just outside the oldest part of the city of Jerusalem, near where the crucifixion took place. One such tomb has a church built on top - the Church of the Holy Sepulcre, but there is no real evidence that this was the actual tomb.

The reason why I say that Jesus didn't have one is that on the Sunday morning after his crucifixion on the Friday, the tomb was found empty, the stone being rolled away. Circumstantial evidence for the resurrection of Jesus no doubt, but after this Sunday morning Jesus was seen as vibrantly alive by many hundreds of followers. As the Son of God he was the first and only to Rise from Death and thus remains alive in heaven to this day.
