Mr. Locksmith: Why do we have the ring on a door? If it is a Church door because if I grab the ring I now have sanctuary. So as long as you can make it to the Church door, grab the ring, you did not have to get inside, you had sanctuary. As long as you held on to the ring, sanctuary!

The concept of sanctuary predates Christianity, going back at least as far as Greek and Roman temples that offered protection to fugitives. Early Christian churches competed with these pagan temples by offering their own protections, and by the end of the 4th century, sanctuary was a part of Roman imperial law.
