I must disagree. The "Holy Sites" are guesses and edicts from Constantine. The actual places are not known to us only to Him. The real Jerusalem is yet to come. The fate of Israel has been determined since the time of Adam and Eve. It is all spelled out in the various and numerous prophecies of both the OT and the NT. I am curious as to where these things happened, but I will wait to stand before Him to find out for sure.

I would like to go to Jerusalem for the history and the knowledge that my Saviour walked these streets and sat in this olive grove. The real thrill will be to walk the streets of New Jerusalem.

But these holy sites have been places of worship for 1800 years are, for that reason, are dear to Christians. As for the prophecies, I believe that we will understand what they mean only after they have happened. We are like the men on the way to Emmaus, who had read the Scriotures their whole lives and had witnessed the events of the passion but understood nothing until Our Lord explained it all to them. And they did not even recognize him unti the breaking of the bread. THEN their lives were changed forever, then they were new men.

You are wrong, Sir.
There are documented writings about how St. Helena, (Mother of Constantine the Great) discovered the tomb of Christ, etc. and other Holy places. The Byzantine Empire kept VERY good records.
