The Immovable Ladder of the Holy Sepulchre: History, Meaning & the Status Quo

Status Quo Ladder at Church of the Holy Sepulchre

A wooden ladder has rested on the façade of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for nearly three centuries. It has survived wars, earthquakes, fires, and the restoration of the church itself. It has not moved because no one — across six Christian denominations and 170 years of negotiation — has been able to agree to move it. This is the story of the Immovable Ladder, and what it quietly preaches about faith, patience, and the God who works in the spaces between disagreement.
