This is a wood statue that has survived roughly 4,500 years. Amazing!

“the chief surgeon and his chief mourner”

[image ID: fanart of characters from the TV show, MASH. it shows father mulcahy and surgeon hawkeye pierce leaning at the edge of an operating table near the end of a recent wave of operating, as the background appears mostly empty and the table behind them is unoccupied. the table they’re at is occupied by a blanketed body. mulcahy leans with his chin in his hands with a despondent expression. hawkeye grips the white sheet with a severe look and blood on his white scrubs. mulcahy wears the purple stole he uses for rites—presumably he just delivered the dead soldier’s last rites. end ID]

so i know the 4077th has a 90%+ efficiency rate but like if a MASH unit can process hundreds at a time how many last rites do you think mulcahy gave by the end. do you think it’s more than any other. do you think that just after giving thanks for his bread, what he prayed for most was soothing the dying. hey what’s with being drafted as a psychopomp huh

The Immovable Ladder of Jerusalem

At first glance, it seems like an ordinary wooden ladder, but this small object beneath a window of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has remained untouched for centuries.

Known as the Immovable Ladder, its story is deeply tied to the status quo agreement governing this sacred site.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is shared by six Christian denominations — Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Coptic Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, and Syriac Orthodox.

Since 1852, the status quo agreement has ensured that no changes can be made to the church’s structure or furnishings without unanimous consent from all six groups.

This fragile balance of power has preserved peace within the church but has also left the ladder untouched for over 250 years.

Whether a symbol of unity or division, the ladder remains frozen in time, a quiet reminder of the delicate compromises that hold the world’s most sacred spaces together.
