JERUSALEM
Holy Week celebrations
Holy Week in Jerusalem is a very special time. In fact, here are the places of The Passion, Death and resurrection of Jesus that are at the heart of our faith. Every year thousands of pilgrims follow the celebrations that lead from the Mount of Olives to the Holy Sepulcher, where the empty tomb of Christ is located.
