Jericho, Palestine

Backs to the Wall, Bethlehem, Palestine

A beautiful girl and friends from the AEI-Open Windows educational program in Bethlehem. The United Nation's highest judicial body,the International Court of Justice(ICJ), declared that the Wall, along its planned route,infringes Palestinians rights, cannot be justified by national security and violates international law. As a result of the Wall, many Palestinians have been cut off from their relatives, farmland and jobs.

Last year I  had won a Lottery for a postcard from Palestine but it never arrived, so

I'm super happy that this postcard of Palestinian children arrived into my mailbox.

Thank you!

Via Dolorosa , Jerusalem

The Via Dolorosa ("Way of Suffering" or simply "Painful Way) is a street, in two parts, within the Old City of Jerusalem, held to be the path that Jesus walked, carrying his cross, on the way to his crucifixion, and ultimately, his bodily resurrection from the dead three days later. The winding route from the Antonia Fortress west to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre—a distance of about 600 metres (2,000 feet)—is a celebrated place of Christian pilgrimage. The current route has been established since the 18th century, replacing various earlier versions. It is today marked by nine Stations of the Cross; there have been fourteen stations since the late 15th century, with the remaining five stations being inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
