Album Info:

Only one of the church's two doors is open. The other was walled up by Saladin at the end of the twelfth century - apparently the lack of Christian tourism during the Moslem regime removed the need for more than one entrance. Two Jerusalem Moslem families received the key in 1245 and were entrusted with the job of opening and shutting the door; they continue holding the job to this very day.
