There are several Christian holy sites in Israel, most near to Jerusalem. Probably the most important is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but there is also the Via Dolorossa, Golgotha, Mount Zion, Tomb of the Virgin, Grotto of Gethsemane, the Chapel of the Ascension, and the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem at St. James Cathedral. Outside of the Jerusalem area, there are a few sites in the Galilee (especially near to Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee) and there are also several ruins near Ceasarea from the time of Jesus, which many Christians find moving.
There are also some Christian holy sites close to Israel, but not in Israel. There is Mount Nebo in Jordan, the supposed resting place of Moses. There is also Saint Catherine's Monastery in Egypt which guards the supposed site of Mount Sinai.
