Orthodox Easter celebrations: Subdued holiday as Israel imposes restrictions


Orthodox Christians in occupied East Jerusalem and occupied West Bank have been marking Easter. But this year’s celebrations are subdued for many Palestinian Christians because of the war on Gaza and Israeli restrictions.

Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports from Ramallah.

Remember: Jews arent God's chosen people, as long they are denying Jesus. YOU lost that status. You arent worth more than other ethnic groups.

@caseclosed9342

Why TF do the Christians support Hamas?

@GOD-qi1bf

That would make Jesus name esus

@GOD-qi1bf

@GOD-qi1bf

@NotevenTony

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death and bestowing life ☦️❤️

Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered!

@christos3280

The mood is not dark. We celebrate even when our church is reduced to rubble. And yes, it was harder to worship, especially when the caliphates forbade christians from pilgrimage or when the ottomans systematically murdered 4 million Christians. Your attempt of pushing your guilt on to israel is completely naught.

@johnsambo9379

We don't like gost humpers who literally kill people for not believing in Muhammad. You literally kill people for becoming Christian. Islam is poison. You murder Christians in Muslim countries.

@user-sf7zc3qv8b

Free Palestine from Hamas

@enkubella

Christ is Risen! May God be with all of our Palestinian brothers and sisters <3

@DoIoannToKnow

its Pascha: passover. Not Easter

that is important. Get it right.

@ProstorniAktivista

Israel is now attacking Christians? But we have to know that Jews killed Jesus!

@clarencebaldwin2424

May the Lord protect the Holy Orthodox Church in Palestine ❤️🇬🇷☦️🇵🇸❤️

@samslater4083

You as Christians should know that that land is Hebrew land

@paulshelest5008

They don't have to believe in the Holy Fire. The God's Grace as the Holy Fire for centuries comes ONLY to the Orthodox Patriarch. You can witness it LIVE. This is the UTMOST testimony to the ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY and its ways as the ONLY righteous Church in this world endowed with His Grace. And this is a Fact. Most astonishingly a lot of people in the most "developed" countries try NOT to notice it. However, the Orthodoxy, as a Gracious river, flows almost unchanged directly to the Source of the Grace revealed on Earth – to Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. What else should God do for a man to believe in Him, His Son and His Holy Spirit? For a few minutes after descending the Holy Fire will not even give you burns – you can actually wash your face with fire. So gracious It is…!

Al Masih Qam!

One day you are free.🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲

@garden7789

im so glad al jazeera got closed bye bye nazis

@Awakeningspirit20

Definitely makes me understand the Orthodox position a lot better – don't hate Jews, don't even hate Israel, but hate what Israel is doing in the Holy Land. Happy Pascha to all!

@lilliankeane5731

The rogue terrorist state of isreal is the biggest threat to all religions and nations in that area.

@walan31

Christian Palestinians and non Palestinians Christians like Armenians in Christian quarter are regularly harassed and attacked. Its not the muslim Palestinians that are ethnically cleansing the Christian presence, its the zionist Isreali state that wants them and any non jew out of the whole of Palestine

@rahesafar2999

@TheBlazersfan22

Israeli hate christians. Its been like that for a long time.

@Theunspokentruth77

There's no such thing as Palestine in the Qur'an.

It is how in these grim circumstances our Palestinian brothers sisters and children are celebrating Eid & Easter under threat from the illegal rabid rascal racist facist Zionist Apartheid settler colonial terrorist state of Israel. May Allah Subhananahuwatala bless our Palestinian nation independence from the shackles of Zionist terrorists. Ameen.
