This year the Jewish Pascha and Christian Triduum in the Catholic Church began the same week. On April 16, 2022 the Vigil of Easter and the Jewish Passover coincided as the moon arose as a Full Moon in the constellation of Virgo. Eastern Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter this weekend (April 22-24). It is also the Muslim holiday of Ramadan (April 1-May 1, 2022).
In Jerusalem, there were tensions surrounding the Temple
Mount/Al-Aqsa. A Jewish movement called “Back
to the Temple Mount” called for and attempted to sacrifice a Passover Lamb
on the mount on the Passover Eve. Four residences from the
West Bank in their 20’s were arrested for planning to sacrifice Lamb on the
Temple Mount.
Throughout the past week there were heighten tensions
between Palestinians and the Israeli police on the Temple Mount. For an update and pictures, click here
