Early Christian

During the time of the Early Christians they built the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The church was built over the top of what was believed to be the burial site of Jesus Christ. This creates an indirect link between marriage and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Much of the purpose of this building is to serve to worship Christ because he is the center of the church. While Christ was alive and on the earth he talked about marriage multiple times and used marriage as a metaphor in his parables. This signifies that marriage was an important part of the Early Christian church. This indirectly links the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with marriage. Also in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre there is artwork depicting the Virgin Mary and this helps to signify also how important Early Christians thought is was to enter into marriage being clean and pure.
