From these earlier testimonies, compared with the
several passages already quoted from Cyril, we may safely draw the
following inferences, (1) The Anastasis properly so called, or Church
of the Holy Sepulchre, in which the five Mystagogic Lectures were
delivered, was built by Constantine over the cave which, according to
the evidence then existing, was fully believed to be the Burial-place
of our Lord. (2) The Great Basilica, called also the Church of
the Holy Cross, in which the Catechetical Lectures were delivered, was
erected on the East of the Anastasis, and separated from it by a large
open area. (3) The hill of Golgotha (on which at a later period
there was built a third Church, called the Church of Golgotha, of Holy
Calvary, or of Cranium) stood about a stone’s throw on the North
side of Constantine’s two Churches, and about equidistant from
them.
