Description of the Holy Places of Jerusalem

And further down, near the sanctuary, there is a stone chamber. And inside it is the Holy Tomb of the Panagia All-Holy/The Virgin Mary. And it is white marble, and a great fragrance comes forth from it. And there are candles: 14 from the Orthodox, 6 from the Franks, 3 from the Armenians, 3 from the Copts. The courtyard of the church belongs to the Orthodox.

A hand-drawn, colored architectural diagram depicts a structure representing the Tomb of the Virgin. It features a domed exterior in brown and green, with an interior view showing columns and a hanging censer. A small cross surmounts the structure, and a gated entrance is visible on the right.

And outside the church the Spring of Siloam is the pool of the Forerunner, and from there flows the salty? river of the sea.
