Thousands of Christian Pilgrims Travel to Jerusalem to Spend Easter

Travel to Jerusalem where thousands of Christian pilgrims stream into the cavernous Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Easter Sunday at the traditional site of Jesus’s crucifixion and burial.

Incense fills the air as Western and Orthodox pilgrims packed into the labyrinthine maze of chapels and crypts lit by thousands of candles as services are held at the grotto where Jesus is believed to have risen from the dead.

Women in shawls kneel to kiss the stone where Jesus’s body is believed to have been prepared for burial as bearded monks in long black robes watch over visitors making their way through Christianity’s holiest site.
