The Second Vespers and the Procession to the Tomb of Mary - In the afternoon the Second Vespers were recited in the grotto of Gethsemane. This grotto - called the “Grotto of the betrayal” or the “Grotto of the Apostles” – is believed to be the oldest part of Gethsemane. Lastly, the traditional procession to the Tomb of the Virgin Mary was held, on the only day when the Franciscans are allowed to make the peregrination. The Friars Minor, after a period of exclusive possession of the Tomb, were chased out of it for good in 1757. Today the place is in the care of the Greek an Armenian Orthodox and, together with Bethlehem, the Holy Sepulchre and the Ascension, the fourth Holy Place regulated by the Statu Quo, according to which the Franciscans can continue to go there exclusively on the occasion of the Feast of the Assumption. The first to kneel at Mary's tomb was the Custos of the Holy Land, who spent a long time in prayer. Then, all those present knelt one by one before the Tomb, to pay tribute to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. In the Kidron Valley, at the foot of the Mount of Olives, near the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of All Nations, lies Mary’s Tomb. But although most Eastern Christians believe this to be the actual gravesite of the mother of Jesus, no one will claim that her remains are still there; according to Christian traditions, Mary ascended into heaven in bodily form. But while Catholics believe that Mary never died, Eastern Christians claim that she did die, was buried, and only ascended after her resurrection on the third day – like her son, Jesus. Like the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Jesus is said to have been buried, the church at Mary’s Tomb was initially built around the time of Constantine I in the 4th century AD. The shrine was subsequently destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, and the current structure was built by Franciscan friars in the second half of the 14th century. The Greek Orthodox Church is in possession of the complex but shares some of the rights to its use with other Christian denominations. Muslims, who also venerate Mary, have a special place for prayer in the building, marked by a mihrab (niche in the wall) that points to Mecca. Mary’s Tomb is deep under the cruciform church, down a 12-century staircase that is flanked by the Chapel of St. Joseph (Mary’s husband) on one side and a chapel devoted to Mary’s parents on the other. Visitors must bend down in order to enter the crypt, where they are greeted by a brilliant display of religious icons and medieval art. Inside, pilgrims pray and light candles, lending the enclosure a profound aura of peace and reverence.
