going to the chapel

These pictures were taken in the Old City, on the way to or from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Eastern Orthodox Holy Saturday.



A hedgehog enjoying the proceedings.



As a Westerner, the greased mullet causes me heartburn, but it is not uncommon here.



A baseball cap makes for a more casual look. Yes, he is riding on someone's shoulders and brandishing a sword - why do you ask?


A more Western hat.



Even little celebrators need hats!



The Christian Arab Scouts had a parade in honor of the day. They wore a variety of different caps to complete their uniforms:




















There are different kinds of Eastern Orthodox priest headwear. I don't know the difference between them - do any of my readers?







I just liked the color.


I believe these are Ethiopian Orthodox. Not completely sure though.



Muslim hats. I saw these on the way, but presumably they were not headed the same direction as me.
