Christians from around the world gather in Jerusalem on Good Friday to mark the Stations of the Cross and retrace the steps of Jesus.
Christian pilgrims from around the world gathered in Jerusalem's Old City to celebrate Good Friday, some carrying large wooden crosses through the narrow cobblestone streets as they followed the route Jesus took on the way to his crucifixion.
Clergymen in colorful robes, representing different Catholic and Orthodox denominations, filed early Friday into the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where many believe Jesus was crucified and buried. In a yearly tradition, the church's doors were unlocked by a member of the Muslim family that has held the key for centuries.
