The Bible isn't a book of myths. It's real history you can touch and see. Here are 8 Biblical places that still exist today 🧵

1. The Via Dolorosa The path Jesus walked on His way to Calvary. Today, pilgrims follow His footsteps through the ancient streets

2. The Tomb of Lazarus A steep staircase descends into the rock-hewn tomb where Lazarus was laid to rest until Jesus called him back to life. The sturdy tomb is still standing strong almost two thousand years later

3. Grotto of the Nativity Beneath the Church of the Nativity, a silver star marks the spot where Jesus was born. In this humble cave, God entered the world

4. Jacob's Well Deep beneath a Greek Orthodox church lies a well almost unchanged for 2,000 years. It was here Jesus met the Samaritan woman and revealed Himself as the source of living water. Better yet, the well is fully functional and you can still drink from it

5. The Cenacle This stone room is the site of the Last Supper. Here Jesus broke bread, gave us the Eucharist, and washed His disciples’ feet. Days later, the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles here at Pentecost, igniting the Church

6. Peter's House These simple stone foundations are what remains of the place where Saint Peter once lived. It’s here that Jesus healed Peter’s mother in law and taught crowds who gathered at the door

7. The Garden of Gethsemane This is the sacred ground where Christ prayed in agony, sweat turning to blood, while His closest friends slept. Pilgrims have been coming here to pray since as early as 333 AD

8. Church of the Holy Sepulchre Under one roof lies both the rocky hill where Christ was crucified and the Tomb where He rose from the dead. Here you can see the Altar of the Crucifixion, where the Rock of Calvary is encased in glass

And this is the site of the Empty Tomb, where Christ triumphed over death
