The story

Easter Monday in Palestine in Bethlehem/Jerusalem

Easter Monday, the day after Western Easter Sunday, is observed by Palestinian Christian communities in Bethlehem and Jerusalem mainly through continued family visits and church activities, following the larger Holy Week observances of Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Easter Monday in Palestine sits in the shadow of two much more heavily documented days on the Christian calendar: Good Friday, marked by the Via Dolorosa procession through Jerusalem's Old City, and Easter Sunday itself, observed with major services at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Church of the Nativity.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Compared to the well-documented Good Friday Via Dolorosa procession and Easter Sunday services at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Church of the Nativity, Easter Monday itself is not a heavily documented separate public event in Bethlehem or Jerusalem

02

The mystery stays covered

it functions more as a continuation of family gatherings and a lower-key day within the broader Holy Week and Easter season observed by the region's Christian communities
