  • Story Text: Christians in Jerusalem have marked Easter Saturday
    against the backdrop of violence which has intensified in the
    past 48 hours.

    Pilgrims and priests prayed on Easter Saturday (March
    30, 2002) at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. They
    celebrated Easter against the backdrop of 18 months of
    violence in the Middle East.

    The prayer at the Church of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's
    old city took place a day after clashes erupted between
    Israeli forces and Muslim worshippers following Friday Prayers
    at the Al-Aqsa mosque, Islams third holiest shrine, situated
    only a few hundreds of metres from the Church.
