Have Your Prayer Placed at Christianity’s Holiest Site

What Is a Prayer Request to the Holy Sepulchre?

A prayer request to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a service that allows your personal intentions to be physically brought to one of the most sacred sites in Christianity.

Located in Jerusalem, this church is traditionally recognized as the place where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected. For centuries, believers from around the world have come here to pray, reflect, and seek spiritual connection.

Through this service, your prayer becomes part of that ongoing tradition.

How the Prayer Request Service Works?

Once your prayer request is received, it is carefully prepared and personally carried to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem—also known as the Church of the Resurrection.

Depending on the option you choose, your intention may be placed on the Stone of Anointing, where Christ’s body was prepared, or near Golgotha, the site of His crucifixion. In some cases, voice messages are played within the church near the Rotunda and Aedicule.

Each request is handled with reverence and respect. As part of the service, a candle is lit on your behalf, and a small donation is made in your name to the church.

To provide transparency and reassurance, you receive confirmation of the process, including photo or video documentation, along with a certificate acknowledging your prayer request.

Where Are the Prayers Placed?

Depending on access and circumstances, prayers are placed within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in areas such as near the Stone of Anointing or other sacred spaces inside the church.

Each request is handled with care and reverence, ensuring it is treated with the respect such a place deserves.
