who worships at the church of the holy sepulchre
Church of the Holy Sepulchre The primary custodians are the Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, and Roman Catholic Churches, with the Greek Orthodox Church having the lion's share. In the 19th century, the Coptic Orthodox, the Ethiopian Orthodox and the Syriac Orthodox acquired lesser responsibilities, which include shrines and other structures in and around the building. Times and places of worship for each community are strictly regulated in common areas.[citation needed] The Greek Orthodox act through the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate as well as through the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre. The Roman Catholics act through the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.
Monastery of the Holy Trinity, Meteora The monasteries of St. Stephen's and Holy Trinity are separated from the main group, which are further to the north.[4] Prior to the twentieth century, Holy Trinity had a very difficult approach, requiring crossing a valley and climbing through the rock outcrop to reach the building's entrance. Provisions were placed in baskets drawn up by rope-ladders (now with a winch). In present day, one can walk from Kalambaka for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) along a foot track to reach the monastery, or use a winch-operated lift.[5][6] There is a road from the back side of the cliff.[7] It is currently reached via tunnels and 130 steps of stone.[8] The grounds include a 2 acres (0.81 ha) garden at the summit.[9]
