Samaritans Mark Passover on Mount Gerizim

Jerusalem, 18 April, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- Israel’s Samaritan community of around 1,000 celebrates Passover on Mount Gerizim overlooking Shechem (Nablus) and the Judean Mountains on April 18, 2025. Samaritans, who broke away from Judaism more than 2,000 years ago over theological differences, regard Mount Gerizim as their holiest site. Photo by Batya Sharabi/TPS-IL
