Thousands of Christians have gathered near Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulcher for Easter Saturday and marched in processions, taking turns to pray in the site where they believe Jesus was killed and buried.

Israeli police burst into one of Christianity’s holiest churches today and arrested two clergyman after an argument between monks erupted into a brawl next to the site of Jesus’ tomb.

AT least 11 Filipino devotees were nailed to the cross during Good Friday reenactments of Christ's final hours.
