Christians living in the Old City of Jerusalem continue to worship at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It is considered to be the main shrine of Christianity, as it is built on the site believed to be where Christ was crucified, buried and resurrected.

But the number of Christians living in the Holy Land is declining, as they find it increasingly difficult to earn a living or even access the sites upon which their faith is built.
