The Holy Sepulchre

Church of the Holy Sepulchre, valued at millions of dollars; and sent to

Berlin the chuich's celebrated ostensory of brilliants.

Christian priests were mistreated, and Father Picardo, an Italian priest,

is said to have died from the effects of Turkish brutalities.

In the centre of this great circular room, shown in the photo, sixty-eight

feet in diameter, rises a highly decorated edifice of marble. Gigantic candle-

sticks are in front of it, and innumerable lamps, the gifts of worshipers,

surround it, and hang everywhere. The little balconies are for the favored

few on Christmas and Easter, when the building is thronged with worship-

ers of every description.
