ABIR SULTAN / EPA / Scanpix / Leta Believers carry a cross during a procession on a passionate Friday along VIA Doloroza Street in Old Jerusalem - it was according to it, according to the Christian tradition, that ran the path of Jesus Christ to the place of crucifix. In 2020, due to the pandemic, the procession was canceled. However, thanks to a successful vaccination campaign from coronavirus in Israel (almost 60% of the population has already been vaccinated in the country) this year, believers again got the opportunity to organize it. Members of the Catholic Youth Group formed a ring around people carrying a cross to protect them from random shocks of the crowd.
