One of our evdomada readers sent me an interesting story about a window and a ladder at the church of the Holy Sephulcre in Jerusalem.
There are 6 churches that claim ownership or custodianship of the church and a resolution put in place by the Ottoman’s – known as a firman – in 1852 called for a status quo on these churches to somehow share the church peacefully.
That hasn’t always been the case of course. I personally remember the “brawl” between the Greeks and the Armenians at the same church. I can’t exactly remember the reason of the argument which resulted on being reported in the news. From memory, someone was in the church when someone else should’ve been present as well …
The article also mentions another similar brawl when a monk moved his chair approximately 20cm to avoid the sunlight in the heat of the day. The minor move resulted in an argument that led to people being hospitalised.
Then comes the story of the ladder that supposedly cannot be moved due to the 1852 firman. However someone claims that for one day, someone decided to move it … then move it back.
Enjoy … click here for the post and here for the ladder moving event
Πρόλαβα μια εποχή που οι δημοσιογράφοι ήταν δημοσιογράφοι και όχι τηλεπερσόνες και μεγαλοπαράγοντες. Τότε τα δελτία ήταν μισής ώρας και έπαιζαν πραγματικές ειδήσεις, ενώ οι εφημερίδες στηρίζονταν στο ρεπορτάζ. Πρόλαβα μια εποχή όπου ο κόσμος αισθανόταν το δημοσιογράφο δίπλα του, σύμμαχο ενάντια στην αδικία και όχι ένα λαμόγιο.
