#Jerusalem
Christian worshippers gather for prayer at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem in the early hours of Ash Wednesday. Local and international faithful visited the historic site, believed to be the location of Jesus’s crucifixion and burial, to mark the beginning of #Lent, a 40-day period of reflection and penance leading up to Easter.
