A small chapel attached to the Kuvuklia on the west, on the side where Christ's Head was turned. Also known as the "Head of the Tomb." The chapel first appeared on this site in 1042 – 1048, when the Byzantine emperor Constantine Monomachos restored the church after its destruction by Al-Hakim. Later, the Crusaders preserved it, adding a wooden canopy and calling it the "Head of the Tomb." For a long time the chapel was under the care of the Franciscans, until in 1537-1540 it passed into the hands of the Coptic Church. Nowadays this chapel is the only Coptic possession in the Church and is generally always open. Few people know that in the chapel you can touch the burial stone on which the body of Jesus lay. You simply need to bend down and put your hand into the dark opening.
