MIDEAST-JERUSALEM-GOOD FRIDAY-CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE

Wajeeh Nuseibeh, door keeper of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, knocks the doors to let the priests inside the church to hand him a ladder from the small window on the door, in Jerusalem's Old City, on April 14, 2017. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is traditionally believed to be the site of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is opened daily at 4:00 a.m., but closed for special praying on special days, like Good Friday. This gives people an opportunity to watch the ceremony of opening the doors at regular hour.
