STORYLINE
In Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip Christian worshippers gathered to celebrate Orthodox Palm Sunday.
According to the Orthodox faithful, Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem and was greeted by cheering crowds bearing palm fronds.
Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem led a Palm Sunday procession through the streets of Jerusalem before holding mass.
Worshippers lit candles and prayed during busy Sunday's services.
In the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Ethiopian Orthodox followers held energetic and vibrant Palm Sunday celebrations.
Prayers were read and men and women wrapped in white robes bowed their heads during the ceremonies.
At the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, worshippers gathered for mass in the Church of the Nativity, the traditional site of Jesus' birthplace according to believers.
The church is a sacred place of pilgrimage for Christians of all denominations.
Mass was also held for Orthodox believers in the Gaza Strip.
Clergymen wearing ornate robes read prayers by the light of candles held by alter boys.
Palm Sunday marks the start of Holy Week for the Orthodox Church, culminating in celebrations next Sunday with Orthodox Easter.
