This is me in front of the Edicule on Easter, i.e., the holiest site and the holiest holidy for many Christian denominations.	The Easter crowd descends upon the Edicule inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre	Easter Mass inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, right in front of the Edicule...... and right in front of me!
Easter Mass inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre	Look at that Crowd!	Easter Mass inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Easter Mass inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre	Again, the crowd is amazing!	Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III leads the Easter mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. His official title is "His Most Godly Beatitude, the Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and all Palestine, Syria, Arabia, beyond the Jordan River, Cana of Galilee, and Holy Zion, Theophilus III."
