On Christmas night, monks from the Dormitio Abbey in Jerusalem journeyed to Bethlehem, carrying a scroll with over 100,000 names. This tradition, deepened by the ongoing conflict, symbolizes hope and remembrance. Despite a decrease in participants due to the war, the pilgrimage reflected the importance of prayer for both the living and the deceased, including names from various backgrounds, such as political leaders. The journey highlights the stark contrast between the holy celebration and the current reality faced by Palestinians amid ongoing turmoil.
