Easter in Jerusalem

We find ourselves in Jerusalem celebrating Easter for the first time.  The words "He is risen" have an even richer ring of truth and joy.

Worship for us began at the Garden Tomb.  While considered a traditional site, there is no lovelier spot in the city.

We then walked through the Old City to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.  However my name preference is Church of the Resurrection.

Later in the morning, we encountered an Easter Parade in the Christian Quarter. It is true that "everybody loves a parade!"
