Palm Sunday celebrations in Jerusalem

Описание: (24 Apr 2016) The Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, has celebrated Orthodox Palm Sunday in the city.
He held palm fronds as he led a procession into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - the traditional site of Jesus' tomb.
But fewer pilgrims than usual were in attendance this year.
Palm Sunday falls on the Jewish holiday of Passover this year, and Israeli officers patrolled the city, on alert amid a seven-month wave of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and forces.
