RELIGIONS - From Jerusalem to Damascus to Moscow, Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter



Millions of Orthodox Christians across Eastern Europe, the Middle East and beyond have been celebrating Easter this weekend, the most important date in their religious calendar. In Jerusalem mass was held inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site where Christians believe Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. 
Followers took part in the reception of the Holy Fire, represented by lighting each others candles before parading around the inner temple and chanting.
