Jaya at Miles to go… on being in Israel and Jerusalem.
The most interesting story came out in front of the Church of Holy Sepulchre. The ownership of church by different sects is quite a messy issue. Currently the different chapels and parts in the church are occupied by the different sects. But since they could not decide on which sect should hold the key to the church, the key is actually held by a Muslim family. Actually there are two of even those. One keeps the keys, the other opens the lock! There is also an interesting story of a ladder kept near one of the windows on the upper floor in the church visible from outside. This was taken there probably for some kind of renovation, when it was decided that nothing could be done to the church because of the feud between the different sects. So, the ladder lies there over almost a century and a half in the same position.
