In Brief
A 3D virtual tour of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem – the site of Jesus’ tomb – will open next week in the National Geographic Museum in Washington DC.
The tour opened on November 15 and will continue until August 15 next year. Academic dean and theology professor at St John’s Seminary in Camarillo, Dr Anthony Lilles, said a person’s intention is key in making the experience a pilgrimage.
He said: “We must not, so to say, stay on the level of surface appearance, but instead allow our imaginations to be baptised by the places we are visiting virtually – thinking about the reality of Christ’s historical presence and what it means for our lives now.”
