The various Christian denominations of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher developed different traditions concerning the burial cave. However, everyone unanimously believes that the burial cave is somewhere in the center of the Great Dome Church. The Greek and Armenian churches worship in the building above the cave, while Catholics pray outside the empty cave. Copts has a particular place for worship. It sets on the opposite side of the main entrance of the building above the cave. They used to point at the base stone of the structure, believing it was an original part of a rock where laid the head of Jesus.
