The Greek Orthodox
ceremony of the Washing of the Feet at the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem
on Maundy Thursday, with the Patriarch of Jerusalem in attendance. The Greek
Orthodox community was the largest Christian group in Palestine. During
the late 19th and early 20th centuries it went through turmoil, as local
Arab members of the church grew increasingly resentful of the Greek clergy.
They demanded that Arabs should be allowed to rise in the ranks of the clergy
and be eligible for the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Source: PTS |
