I tried to get the colors as close as possible, I think the border is slightly whiter than shown above.
According to Wikipedia, "The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the Church of the Resurrection is a fourth-century church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is considered to be the holiest site for Christians in the world and has been the most important pilgrimage site for Christians since the fourth century. According to traditions dating back to the fourth century, it contains both the site where Jesus was crucified and the location of Jesus' empty tomb, where he was buried and resurrected."
This real photo postcard depicts the entrance to the Holy Tomb. The postcard doesn't have a clear postal cancellation, but I think the postcard was sent sometime before the 1950s, as the Transjordan stamp was used between 1922 - 1946. After 1946, the Emirate of Transjordan achieved independence and was renamed Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan.
Perfect addition to a collection focused onJerusalem, Palestine, British colonialism, religion and more.
