Calvary's Garden Tomb
This is a recreation of the place where Jesus' body was laid down (but did not remain) after the crucifixion. He was in the pits for 3 days, but he arose. Its hard to keep a good man down. Performances are given here that reenact the tragedy and then triumph.
Scriptorium
Contained in this building are some of the rarest and unique artifacts relating to the Word of God. Instead, being hidden in the darkest of caves, these items are on display at the Scriptorium.
Plaza of the Nations/
The Temple of the Great King
Surrounded by 30, Corinthian-crowned Roman columns, is the 1/2 scale replica of the Temple of the Great King. This is the place where, as boy, Jesus read aloud the scriptures and preached to the people. Reenactments from the certain stories the bible are performed daily in the shadow of the temple.
Opened on Feb. 5, 2001, The Holy Land Experience is a 15-acre, $16 million dollar, authentic replica of Jerusalem as it was during the time of Jesus and the Roman Empire. It is called the The Holy Land Experience because you are totally immersed in the sights, sounds, and tastes of Jerusalem as it was 2 millennia ago. From the moment you enter through the gates of the "walled city", you are transported 2,000 years back in time to a teeming with life and activity, genuine, A.D. 66 Jerusalem street market. All the architecture and exhibits inside the Holy Land Experience, from the Qumran Dead Sea Caves to the Plaza of the Nations, are precisely-detailed so as to provide a greater insight into their biblical importance.
There are also daily theatrical presentations (performed by the "cast" of dramatists at the park) that depict many of the events that were documented during those times. These performances are enhanced with special music played by staffed musicians. You can also enjoy, "The Seed Promise", a thought-provoking and moving film actually shot on location in Israel, which is shown in the Theatre of Life located within the Temple. This film illustrates God's plan for Redemption.
