Jacob's Ladder

Jacob's Ladder is a reference to the story in the Old Testament of the ancient patriarch Jacob, who slept one night and awoke to find angels ascending and descending on a ladder that stretched into Heaven. Archangel Chantries will frequently have a special place set aside, such as a staircase or rising hill, where prayers and novenas can be made. 
Such a place is meant to be used as a refuge for prayer and silence.
