Detail of Ladder

photo

This ladder is located on a ledge just above the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It was placed there over a hundred years ago to bring food to Armenian monks who were locked in the church. It has not been moved since - for the various communities are at odds over who has the right to move such objects.
