When the First Churches Were Built.
In the Mediterranean
world where the first churches were built and many remain intact. One of the
features of these huge churches were their
proportionally huge doors. Unlike our churches which have doors to keep in the
heat the function of the doors in the Mediterranean world was not to keep in
the heat but these doors symbolically separated the struggles of life by closing
out the troubles of life
for as long as the Mass was being celebrated. This
gave rise to the notion of sanctuary where refugees or even criminals could run
to the doors and hang on to the oversized loop handles. As long as they were
there they could claim immunity and they would wait for the clergy to serve as
their mediators and protectors.
