Israel stops Palestinians from marking Good Friday in Jerusalem: Israel has precented thousands of Christians from participating from marking Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday in Jerusalem.
Hundreds of Christians did manage to march through the alleys of the Old City, participating in the Stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa (the "Way of Sorrows") towards the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, amid a noticeable presence of Israeli security forces.
However, the vast majority of these worshippers were local residents and foreign tourists, with the complete absence of Christian West Bank residents due to the Israeli restrictions.
