 It's the holiday season, and no, it's not Christmas, it's... It's the holiday day! Here in the Middle East, springtime brings the holiday of Passover for the Jews, and this year, Easter for Israel's 140,000 Christians. In Israel, everyone has a freedom of religion, protected by Israel's basic law, which is why this week, while Jews pray in synagogue for Passover, thousands of Christians celebrating Palm Sunday and then Easter. Palm Sunday commemorates the Ascent of Jesus to Jerusalem before Easter. And in Israel, Christians celebrate with Palm branches, and even a parade. And in the parade, you will see Christian scouts, Muslim scouts in solidarity, and the Israeli flag flying high as well. Muslims, Christians, Jews. All Israelis are free to celebrate their religion here.
