I had to sit down and do my anthropological observation as the steps were too steep for me and the crowds abundant. Recommend to do this early when it opens as you might find the strength then to climb the steps

It was great to be at the probable location of Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection! The church has a crazy layout so try to get someone to help you or use a guide book. Jesus died for our sins so it is a shame that Christians from different groups can't get past their pettiness and cooperate at this important site....

The church is filled with spirituality for those who are Christian. If nothing else, it is worth being there to see how people react to being where Jesus Christ is said to have been.

A truly holy place for billions, fought over by those who care the most. Well preserved for milennia and open to the public for free. See the purported Tomb of Jesus, from 2 perspectives, take a guide to explain why things are the way they are and why that's not likely to chenge.
This church is so large that you should not try it alone. A tour guide can help you maneuver the crowds and explain what you are seeing. When we went it was really crowded. There is a reason for the crowds. The church is that special. When we went, I believe a couple of large tour groups converged at once....

This church is so big, with so many important Christians sights to see in it, and the guide books don't really tell you where to look for everything.
