Thousands of Christian faithful attend Palm Sunday celebrations in Jerusalem
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of Christian faithful attend Palm Sunday celebrations at Jerusalem’s sacred Mount of Olives, marking the first day of Holy Week as conflict surges across the region.

Pilgrims wave branches and fronds in the air, items that were placed before Jesus’s feet as he was greeted by cheering crowds during his entrance into Jerusalem, according to the Bible.

Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre — revered as the site of Jesus’s crucifixion — also held a service earlier today.

The annual celebration comes as war rages on in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, though it appears to have had little effect on the procession, which swells to a similar size as last year.

"Although there is war, in my impression I don’t feel any kind of tension," says David Manini, a pilgrim from Italia.

"I’m here because I love Jesus Christ," says Jennifer Weedon, who traveled from the United States for the occasion.

The celebration marks the beginning of the most somber week in the Christian calendar, which marks Jesus’s crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter
