In Cat. xiv. § 5, he says, “It was a garden where He was crucified.  For though it has now been most highly adorned with royal gifts, yet formerly it was a garden, and the signs and the remnants of this remain.”  From this it is evident that the traces of a garden close to the Church were still visible both to Cyril and his hearers.  Twice again in § 11 he mentions the garden, which he had most probably himself seen in its former state, before the ground was cleared at the time of the recovery of the Holy Sepulchre in 326.
