The most impressive place of Christianity, I had “Sepulchre”, located in the ancient city of Jerusalem where the body of Jesus Christ was thought to have remained, is preserved by two Muslim families.

It may seem strange, since devotion prevails in this land today, but history recognizes it as washed with blood because of differences between clergymen.

A unique agreement dating back to the 12th century is said to have been entrusted to two Muslim families.

The Joudeh family holds the key to the church as the Nuseibeh family opens the church doors every morning and closes them every evening.

In an interview for “CNN”, Adeeb Joudeh, who currently holds the key to the church, considers the role of his family the metaphor for religious tolerance.

For me, the source of coexistence for Islamic and Christian religion is the Holy Church “Sepulchre” said Joudeh.

While, Wajeeh Nuseibeh, in 2005, has shown the peacekeeping role of these two families.

Like all brothers, they have problems sometimes, referring to rival Christian sects. We help them resolve their differences. We're neutral people in the church. We are the United Nations. We help preserve peace in this holy place” said Nuseibeh.

A week earlier, for the first time in centuries, some scholars have removed a marble plate of the round building, known as Edicule, located in the center of the complex.
