The calendars of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches coincide this year, so the sects are marking the holy week together. Jews are also celebrating the Passover festival.
Herman Backhaus, from Munster, Germany, says being in Jerusalem reminds him that Jesus “actually lived, and his message didn’t die with him on the cross.”
Orthodoxy? Roman Catholicism? Sects?
I like the Backhaus quote.
Oddly, I brought up an article about the Pope’s answering of questions regarding suffering, on TV on Good Friday. At the bottom a brief mention of Christians in Jerusalem, but nothing like the quote here.
