Eastern Orthodox clergy have marked Easter in Jerusalem at a Church of the Holy Sepulcher devoid of worshipers due to the new coronavirus.
Eastern Christian rites mark Easter, the day Christians believe Jesus was resurrected after his crucifixion, a week after the Catholic calendar.
Easter mass was performed by a small group of clergy at the Holy Sepulcher, where many Christians believe Jesus was entombed. The square outside was empty, the church's large wooden doors barred shut, but a few individual worshipers came to pray outside.
