Fact of the Day: Heaven's Door
In many early human civilizations, doors were once considered an "entryway" to the afterlife. Doors in important places were often decorated with local religious symbols.
There's a painting with Jesus inside and somebody's knocking on the door outside. Except there's no door handle inside. Only the man could let himself in. I'd like to get that as a poster...

I didn't know that. That's very interesting!
