Amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Easter celebrations in Jerusalem continue. While some Christian pilgrims have avoided the Holy Land, local Christians have taken part in traditional rituals despite a tense atmosphere. In Jerusalem, where the city is sacred to Jews, Muslims, and Christians, assaults on Palestinian Christians have increased, leading to concerns about the right to pray freely. In Gaza, Palestinian Christians are facing challenges for survival, seeking refuge in churches. Despite the conflicts, calls for unity among different religious groups persist.
