Pinsteps. Church of the Holy Sepulcher; Catholic part

There is an organ in the Catholic part of the church. It is easy to see figures of Mary Magdalene and Jesus above the altar. The interior of the church reminiscents how Mary Magdalene meet Jesus at the tomb's garden after his resurrection. The gospel says that Jesus looked like a gardener. Tall wooden doors in front of the altar lead to an inner room used as the Museum of the Catholic presence in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Various symbols are engraved on the massive doors, among them crossed keys. These keys are the symbol of the kingdom of heaven. Catholics believe that Jesus gave it to Peter, who gave it to the pope where Peter was crucified in Rome.
