Tomb of Joshua

The Tomb of Joshua (Hebrew: קבר יהושע בן נון), i.e. the burial site of the biblical figure Joshua, and that of his companion Caleb are, according to a Samaritan tradition noted in 1877, at Kifl Haris in the West Bank. Religious Jews also identify one of the mausolea at Kifl Haris with that of Joshua

and thousands of them go there on pilgrimage on the annual commemoration of his death, 26th of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar.
