  • Title:  Jerusalem Holy Sepulchre Stone Of Anointing 041
  • Description:  Just inside the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the Stone of Anointing (also Stone of the Anointing or Stone of Unction), which tradition believes to be the spot where Jesus' body was prepared for burial by Joseph of Arimathea. However, this tradition is only attested since the crusader era (notably by the Italian Dominican pilgrim Riccoldo da Monte di Croce in 1288), and the present stone was only added in the 1810 reconstruction.
