The custody of the church is shared by the various religious bodies (since the Status Quo of the Holy Places was enforced in 1852):1. Roman Catholic2. Armenian Orthodox3. Greek Orthodox4. Egyptian Coptic5. Ethiopian Coptic6. Syrian OrthodoxUnder the Status Quo, nothing that is designated as common territory may be rearranged without consent from all communitiesAs a result, the ladder (near the centre of the photo) has been there since 1852
