The Immovable Ladder of Jerusalem

For centuries, one of the holiest places in Christianity has been governed by an extraordinarily delicate balance of tradition, property rights, religious rivalry, and international diplomacy.

The result is one of the strangest and most visible symbols of religious compromise and conflict in the world.
