The Church of the Holy Seplichure in Jerusalem

The Church of the Holy Seplichure in Jerusalem

The author’s caption:
This is a view of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the only entrance door – it is the place of Christ’s crucifixion over the Calvary. The Church dates back to 330 A.D. and contains a number of chapels and shrines controlled by many different Christian faiths. Violence has broken up so many times among them, that from 1192 to this day a Muslim family is entrusted with the keys to that front door, and a family member comes twice every day, to open it early in the morning and lock it at night.
