3Sanctuary for criminals

Source: Link

If a fugitive seeking solace touches the knocker of the main door of the cathedral, he will be granted asylum for 37 days. Upon entry after rapping at the Sanctuary knocker, the monks who seat close to the entrance door will ring a bell to announce the arrival of the fugitive.  After the 37th day, they might have reconciled with their accusers or they will be moved out to face the law. Click the next ARROW to see the next photo!
