After years of delay caused by the world pandemic, the second phase of restoration has commenced at Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The new project will see the floors restored, while a subsequent archaeological investigation will explore what lies underneath. Workers will also update the plumbing, electric, and fire suppression systems.
