Abstract

The article focuses on the Palm Sunday celebrations at Jerusalem's Mount of Olives, where thousands of Christian pilgrims gathered to mark the start of Holy Week amid ongoing conflict in the region. Despite the Israel-Hamas war, which began on October 7 and has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, the religious procession maintained a turnout comparable to previous years. The event included services at Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a site significant for Jesus's crucifixion, and featured pilgrims expressing devotion despite the surrounding violence. The article also notes the impact of the conflict on tourism and references an Israeli strike on St. Porphyrios, a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza sheltering displaced Palestinians.
