The Mount of Olives garden attracts half a million visitors yearly with ancient olive trees and shrines surrounding a site linked to Jesus praying before arrest. Guides describe the setting as spiritually powerful though its exact historic authenticity is uncertain. A Muslim gardener tends the grounds and comments on the peaceful atmosphere. The area safeguards against Jerusalem syndrome as pilgrims travel through the holy precincts.

Easter crucifixions draw crowds to Philippine village

In San Pedro Cutud, north of Manila, at least ten Filipinos were nailed to crosses and many flogged themselves during Good Friday rites. Hundreds of tourists and reporters watched as Herosito Sangalang endured 12 minutes on the cross, while Bob Velez noted his 17th crucifixion. The staged event uses four inch nails and stainless steel for re-enactments, with no serious injuries reported amid a festival atmosphere.

Pope hears confessions during Good Friday in Vatican

Pope John Paul II heard confessions from nine people in St. Peter's Basilica on Good Friday before a solemn Colosseum procession. He walks a short stretch with others bearing a wooden cross, after hip surgery, with aid from an Orthodox Romanian priest and a Hong Kong woman. He plans a Pineon CITY visit to Romania next month and aims for a Russia visit to ease Catholic Orthodox tensions.
