STORYLINE:
Christian Orthodox worshippers gathered at the the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Thursday, to mark the start of the Orthodox Easter holidays.

The event is marked with the traditional ceremony known as Washing of the Feet.

The Holy Sepulchre is the site where Christians believe Jesus was entombed and then resurrected.

Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III poured soapy water from an ornate silver pitcher into a bowl and then washed and dried the feet of priests.

In all he washed the feet of 12 priests, symbolizing the washing of the feet by Jesus Christ of his 12 disciples over 2,000 years ago.
