The Mystagogic Lectures were delivered not in the Church, but after the conclusion of the public Service “in the Holy Place of the Resurrection itself Cat. xviii. § 33.,” that is, in the small Chapel which contained the Holy Sepulchre, and to which the name “Anastasis” more properly belonged.  Happily we are not required by the purpose of this work to enter into the disputed questions concerning the Holy Places.  Whether the cave re-fashioned and adorned by Constantine was the actual sepulchre in which our Lord’s body was laid, and whether the present Churches occupy the same site as the Basilica and Anastasis of Constantine, are matters still under discussion, and awaiting the result of further researches.  What more properly concerns us is to collect the chief passages in which Cyril refers to these localities, and to try to give a fair representation of his testimony, comparing it with that of earlier or contemporary writers.
