Workers engaged in a restoration project at the church of the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem have reported extraordinary phenomena at the tomb
in which Jesus was laid, located inside the basilica.
Workers report that as they approached the tomb they detected a
“sweet aroma”—the sort of floral scent that has often been reported in
encounters with the saints and with Marian apparitions.
The workers also report that some electronic devices that were left
near the tomb began to malfunction or broke down entirely, suggesting
that they had been affected by powerful electromagnetic forces.
An international team is engaged in restoration work at the Edicule:
the little shrine that was built around the site of Jesus’ tomb.
In
October, the team exposed the sheet of rock on which Christ’s body was
laid.
