It gained its special name for a reason. It is named the Door of Forgiveness due to the fact that when pilgrims came to the cathedral at the end of their pilgrimage they passed through the door. Since they were on a pilgrimage, which is a spiritual journey, as they passed under the door their sins were forgiven and their journey then had a meaning and a purpose. It is no longer in use today as a Door of Forgiveness as people do not make spiritual journeys to this cathedral anymore, but it has a solid place in history as an archway of magic and repentance and it is important to religious history.
