for Holy Week from York Minster and Jerusalem From Jerusalem Geoffrey Wheeler relates the unfolding drama that took place there 2,000 years ago and meets visitors from Britain who talk of their feelings as they stand where the events happened.
In the spectacular setting of York Minster, Christians from the area are joined by returning pilgrims from Jerusalem to sing the well-loved hymns of Holy Week.
But it's the children of both cities that begin the joint celebration by re-enacting - as children the world over love to do -Jesus' triumphant Palm Sunday entry into Jerusalem-a procession that begins at the foot of the Hill of Olives and ends in the Great Nave of York Minster.
