Other biblical sites in the city include the Church of John the Baptist, Via Dolorosa, the Garden Tomb, the Condemnation Chapel, the Chapel of Flagellation, the Grotto of the Apostles and Mary's Tomb. Numerous churches and religious sites in Jerusalem hold services throughout Christmas Day and for some a visit is an incredibly spiritual event.
