Man: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre - February 2014
Today, the wider complex around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre also serves as the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, while control of the church itself is shared among several Christian denominations and secular entities in a complicated arrangement essentially unchanged for more than 160 years known as the Status Quo.

Some consider the so-called “immovable ladder” under the window of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to be a visible symbol of the alleged inactivity the Status Quo imposes. Made of Lebanon cedar wood, the ladder was in place by 1728 and has remained there since the 1757 Status Quo was established, aside from being temporarily moved only twice. No cleric of the six ecumenical Christian orders may move, rearrange, or alter any property on the site (including the ladder) without the consent of the other five orders.
