many monasteries, convents, shrines, and religious seminaries in jerusalem mark events in the life of jesus and in the formation of the christian church. according to the bible, jesus taught in jerusalem and performed numerous miracles there. the last supper supposedly took place in a room known as the cenacle (also called coenaculum) on mount zion. the church of the holy sepulcher in the old city is said to be the place of jesus's crucifixion (called calvary or golgotha), as well as his burial and resurrection. several christian sects own the church, which was originally built by constantine the great, then rebuilt and dedicated by the crusaders in 1149 ce. the building stands at the end of the via dolorosa (way of sorrows), believed to be the path over which jesus carried his cross to calvary. jesus was last seen by his followers on the mount of olives before he went up to heaven. all of these sites attract many religious pilgrims each year.
