[From custodia.org<\/a>] For the last two weeks visitors to the Holy Sepulchre<\/strong> have noticed a certain bustling around the \u201cChapel of the Franks\u201d<\/strong>. Many visitors and pilgrims to the Holy Sepulchre don\u2019t know its name, even though they have seen it. The Chapel of the Franks, whose real name is the Chapel of the Torment or Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows or Chapel of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is literally against the basilica\u2019s fa\u00e7ade at the top of the stairs, a site where many groups of pilgrims will remember having taking the traditional souvenir photo.<\/p>\n

In the Middle Ages, a need was felt for an entrance directly to Calvary from the forecourt, as can be learned in the richly informative article by Fra Eugenio Alliata, an archeologist of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum. (You can read the article by clicking here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The reason for the present activity is that the chapel, a property of the Franciscans, is being restored.<\/strong> This morning, Fra Sergio Galdi came to meet the experts at work. He said, \u201cThe Custody, as guardian of the Holy Places, is fulfilling its role. Charged with administering the patrimony in the name of the Latin Church, the Custody takes care of it. This chapel is one of the jewels of the basilica.\u201d<\/p>\n

The restorations are being executed by young Palestinians who were trained at the Mosaic Centre Jericho<\/strong>, the mosaics school – founded by Fra Michele Piccirillo and directed today by arch. Osama Hamdan – with which ATS pro Terra Sancta has been collaborate for years. The same young people involved in Gethsemane’s project, have also been trained in cleaning the stone and restoration of the altarpiece. They will continue this experience with an internship in Italy to further hone their skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
