Easter in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1697

Thanks be to God for books.google! What a treasure trove of information that is :-)

My never-ending research into the history of Christianity in the Middle East brought me to this book, which was footnoted in a book by Kenneth Cragg, if I recall).



This is the account of one English pilgrim, Henry Maundrell, visiting Jerusalem in 1697 for Easter.
