Adjoining this tower, on the right-hand side, is a stone chamber cut out
of the rock of mount Olivet and severed from it. It is vaulted with chisels
on the interior, and two unadorned sepulchres are on view there. One
of them is that of Symeon, the just man who held the Lord Jesus in his
25]
arms as a little infant and prophesied concerning him. The other is that
of the equally just Joseph, spouse of the holy Mary, and foster-father of
the Lord Jesus.
