Six Churches, One Roof, 270 Years of Deadlock
Six churches hold legal rights at Jerusalem's shared holy places, and the rules freezing them in place date back to a 1757 Ottoman decree. This episode traces how caring for pilgrims built that institutional patchwork — from a 1333 royal purchase of the Cenacle to the Crimean War — and how a fifth-century schism still decides who sits where inside the Holy Sepulchre. We look at the ladder nobody can move, the iron girders that held the Aedicule together for 69 years, and what it actually takes to fix a roof when six communities have to agree.
