The entrance to the church is through a single door in the south transept.
The key to the entrance is held by the Muslim Nuseibeh family who were entrusted with guardianship by Saladin in 1192 to keep the peace between the various Christian factions.
After periods of tension between the Nuseibeh family and the Ottoman authorities in the 18th century, the Ottoman authorities appointed the Joudeh family to assist the Nuseibeh’s in their task.
Today, the Joudeh family still assists the Nuseibehs by bringing the key of the church to a member of the Nuseibeh family who unlocks and locks the door on a daily basis.

the bible says, in matthew18:20, Where two or three are gathered in His great name, He is there among them.
when we say a church, it is often mistaken for a building.. a church is where a group of people gather in the name of Jesus Christ, worship him, learn about him, and pray to him, and the Lord says to encourage each other in the christian life.. God does not wish for us to live the christian life alone!
when people give the excuse for not going to church, " i can still worship him and pray to him at home or anytime i want, therefore i do not need to go to church," u r wrong!
we need to go to church! when we have doubts, it is vital to share with the other of your family member in christ so that your faith do not decrease! the same goes the other way around! there might be a member in church that deeply need your encouragement and advise.. please be ther for them!
so it doesnt matter who holds the key to the church.. we all do, with God's power n love.. For He has made salvation free by paying the full price!

It doesn't really matter who holds the key to anything here on earth except who holds the key to our salvation and that would be Jesus the Christ.
