Christians celebrate Easter in Jerusalem

.- Christians from around the world celebrate Easter Sunday to commemorate the day of the resurrection of Jesus in the holy city two millennia ago. Orthodox and Catholic Christians paths made ceremonies in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is revered as the place that tradition marks as the site of the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

The calendars of the various churches coincide this year. The clerics in robes decorated processions made by the old place, where the ceremonies are coordinated carefully each faith to avoid conflicts. The protesters made their own Easter ceremonies outside the walled Old City, the Garden Tomb, which some consider the burial of Jesus.

The speakers spoke in English and there were rock bands that accompanied the congregation with songs.
