The Chapel of Adam

Also known as the "Area of the Skull" and the chapel of "Melchizedek". In accordance with tradition, the name of 'skull' and 'Adam' is derived from the fact that this is the spot where they found the skull and relics of Adam. From a crack that was made on the ground when The Cross was erected, rolled the blood of Christ and purified the original sin. The crack in the rock is said to be caused by the earthquake that occurred during the Crucifixion. You can see the rock along with the crack in the enlarged snap, just below the small Christ's crucifixion photograph on the wall...Inside the glass covered by a black frame....
