This year, as various Easter, Passover and Ramadan celebrations (began April 23) are not allowed to be held publicly due to restrictions from the Israel Ministry of Health, Window to Mount Zion has taken events online.
Regular Eastern Christian procession
While Sunday, April 12 marks Easter in the Catholic and Protestant churches, in the Eastern Churches, it begins a week later. For them, on April 12 Eastern Orthodox Churches begin a week of prayer, contemplation, and remembrance for the Crucifixion on Friday (17.4) and Resurrection (19.4).
Like previous webinars (here about Catholic / Protestant Holy Week, here about Passover), this webinar was held in cooperation with the Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations (JCJC) of the Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue. It featured Archbishop Aristobulus Kirisis of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate and Yisca Harari, an expert on Christianity.
