"Amid Conflict and Pandemic, Christians Navigate Easter Celebrations in Jerusalem"

Christians in Jerusalem cautiously celebrate Easter amid the Israel-Hamas war, with many pilgrims staying away but local Christians participating in annual rituals despite an increasingly hostile environment. In Gaza, Palestinian Christians are struggling to stay alive, seeking shelter inside churches. The community in Jerusalem, many of whom are Palestinian, has experienced a rise in assaults by ultra-Orthodox Jews, leading to fears of further backlash and restrictions on the right to pray in the holy city.
