April 26, 1967 -- Jerusalem

I spent several days here. My travel diary is silent but I remember being repulsed by the Christian rivalries being played out in this supposedly holy city. At this time Orthodox Easter was being observed. There were various processions taking place for the Orthodox and non-Orthodox Christians; coordinated so they could all do the various spots with their crosses and prayers without running into each other. I was shown two places said to be the tomb of Christ, donations accepted at each.
