“Sometimes I think it is simpler to go to America than to Jerusalem. And yet it’s just 6 miles down the road.” This is how Marcelline, a young girl from Bethlehem, described the difficulties many Palestinian Christians are having in getting to the holy sites because they have been unable to obtain authorization from the Israeli government to cross the wall. Marcelline said this in a statement to Aid to the Church in Need. “We should not need a permit to go and visit the places of worship that are dear to us,” the girl went on to say. On Palm Sunday, she and her family took part in a commemorative procession for Jesus’ entry to Jerusalem.
