The pulvinate elements above the door of the Holy Sepulchre gave crisp shadows for Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Such "cushions" or boofim or poofim are typical of Crusader architecture.
Oh, and there is the immovable ladder.Someone put it there sometime before 1852, when the status quo defined both the doors and the window ledges as common ground.
Under the status quo, no part of what is designated as common territory may be so much as rearranged without consent from all the communities that have rights inside the church.
So no one dares to remove the old ladder.
Please enlarge the photos to enjoy the stonework..
