Celebrating both the Jewish Passover and the Christian Easter together in Jerusalem

Eastern and Western Christians together: this year the Easter holiday is celebrated on the same days also by the Jews.

This year, holy week is intense in the holy land where, besides the Eastern and Western Christians, the Jews too, celebrate their Easter. The word Easter, Pesach in Hebrew, means ‘passover’ and commemorates the end of slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt. An event that inaugurated their 40 year exodus in the desert in search of the Promised Land.
