Israel Trip - Church of the Holy Sepulchre

This is the holiest of Christian sites, but my experience here did not feel holy or sacred at all. The place was jam packed with people trying to squeeze with each other just to get to some alter. Our guide was barely able to tell us anything significant about the things inside because of the chaos. There were people touching and kissing some slab of stone which I later found out to be the Stone of Unction. The very stone where Jesus was supposedly laid after he was brought down from the cross. So mama seeing that people were touching the stone joined in the touching. She knew it was important but did not know why. There were many altars all over the place and many religious folks dressed in different garbs. From the outside, the church was an architectural mess. From what I gathered, certain sections were added at different times so there was no observable form I was able to discern. To top the unappealing experience, it was very warm inside and outside the church so I just want it to be over with to get back to the cool hotel.
