===Other chapels within the Church of the Resurrection===
There are eight minor chapels within the church of the Resurrection.
::This is a small area of worship that used to be known as the "Area of the Skull" and also the chapel of "Melchizedek". In accordance with tradition, the name of 'skull' and 'Adam' is derived from the fact that this is the spot where they found the skull and relics of Adam. The theology of the Orthodox church believes that this location is not a coincidence since the purpose of the crucifixion is directly connected to the story of Adam and his expulsion from Eden. Having found the bones of Adam underneath Golgotha symbolises the cleansing of the bones of the man who committed the first sin by the blood of Christ dripping down from the cross.

::In accordance with Latin tradition, the circular marble plaque that is at this spot marks the location where Christ appeared to Mary Magdalene after His resurrection (John 10, 17). This chapel belongs to the Latins and is named "Mi mou aptou", in hounour of Christ's words, but is also named Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene.
