April 5, 2010: Day 35: Christ is Risen! Join Diana to the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem where we start at the Roman Catholic Chapel at the Church. The priests carry the Holy Fire into the dark chapel and then set the lights on declaring that Christ is Risen! Fireworks are fired. Diana then takes us into the Orthodox Chapel where the Orthodox Bishop of the Church of Nativity Theofilos carries the Holy Fire into the main hall of the dark church to declare that Christ is Risen. See the chandeliers of the church shaking to resemble the earthquake of over 2000 ago! Meet Arab Star Elham Madfai who Diana finds at the Church and others. Do you know why eggs are colored for Easter? Nagham watches Christ is Risen at the church in Gaza then goes to meet the Archbishop of Tiberias Alexiou who tells us the fascinating story! He also explains the meaning of Easter and the situation of Gazan Christians.
