Father Elzear Horn on the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and its denizens as it appeared sometime about 1740:

In addition to the Latins there were once six other eastern nations of the Christian name who used to exercise jurisdiction in this holy church, each having its own proper chapel and shrines in it so that now this group and now that might worship God day and night with its own liturgy and in its own language. First and principal are the Latins, namely the Friars Minor, popularly called, together with all the Europeans, "Franks." In addition to the Sepulcher of Christ, they have custody of the middle part of Calvary, the Stone of Unction, the Chapel of the Apparition of the B.V.M., the place of the Invention of the Cross, together with the greater part of the upper and lower galleries…

Second are the Greek monks, who have the body of the church, the prison of Christ, the chapel of St. Longinus, the column of the Impropreria, together with certain dark shrines under the lower portico around the Holy Sepulcher and beneath the narrow vaults of Mount Calvary.

Third of the Armenian monks, who possess, in addition to the Chapel of St. Helena and of the Division of the Vestments of Christ, in the upper portico of the church a chapel looking down on the Holy Sepulcher together with some cells made with wooden poles above the vestibule of the church.

Fourth are the Coptic monks, who have a chapel contiguous to the monument of Christ together with some obscure little residences beneath the lower portico of the church. These three aforementioned groups alone live together with us inside the boundaries of the [Church of the] Holy Sepulcher.

The fifth group is the Syrians, who have a chapel near the tomb of Joseph of Arimithea where in certain openings of the door of the church they light several lamps in the course of the year. When the church is closed and they are not there, the Armenians protect the place…The sixth are the Georgians, who hold another part of Calvary and the chapel of Adam. But the aforementioned Greeks have now taken their place because of the overwhelming debts the Georgians have incurred; also their own demerits demanded this.

The seventh were the Abyssinians or Ethiopians, who had a dark chapel around the foundation walls of the church, but reduced to servitude by the Turks, they have left the place and have given over their chapel to the Greek monks for a reception area for pilgrims, for food and drink and other things.
