Excerpt from Anonymous Pilgrims, I-VIII: 11th and 12th Centuries Adam was buried, and where Abraham Offered sacrifice to God. About a long stone's throw from thence toward the west is the place where Joseph of Arimathaea buried the sacred body of the Lord Jesus. There is a church beautifully built by the Emperor Constantine. From Mount Calvary it is thirteen feet toward the west to the middle Of the u orld on the left hand is the prison wherein Christ is said to have been shut up. On the 'right (left) hand of the sepulchre, and hard by it, there is a Latin monastery dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, built on the place where her house once stood. In this same monastery there is an altar on the place where Mary the Lord's mother stood, and Mary the wife of Cleophas. And Mary Magdalen with her, weeping and grieving because they saw the Lord upon the cross. Here Jesus said to His mother, 'woman, behold thy son, ' and to the disciple, 'behold thy mother.' Two bow-shots from this place toward the east is the Lord's temple, which was built by Solomon, and wherein Christ was presented by the just Simeon. On the right-hand side of this temple Solomon built hisown temple, and between the two temples he built a beauteous portico with marble columns. To the left is the sheep-pool.
