Israel has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indefinitely for the first time in the history of Christianity.
Holy Week and Easter services will be prohibited. Sunday masses and liturgies cancelled. A church that should be packed with hundreds of thousands these coming weeks is being forcibly shut and silenced.
Israel cites it is for ‘security concerns’ while Jewish Israelis are allowed to celebrate in mass gatherings. Alongside the forced closure of Al-Aqsa mosque, reports cite priests aggressively being turned away to perform daily services.
Throughout history, wars, tensions, or even the pandemic limited access to the sanctuary, but they had never prevented liturgical celebrations in this central place of Christian faith indefinitely. Christians must not remain silent.

NEW: Wild bull jumps over the fence into the crowd at an Oregon rodeo, runs over people in the concession area.
As "God Bless the U.S.A." played in the background, the bull 'Party Bus' jumped over the fence to take its anger out on spectators and garbage cans.
Two people were rushed to the hospital. They are expected to recover.
"As a direct result of the bull, two of whom were transported to a local hospital," the Sisters Rodeo Association said in a statement.
The incident wasn't enough to stop the show as the performance continued on Sunday.
My Greeks in Greece 🇬🇷 need to be more like us Greek Americans.
Here’s the difference, here in the USA we are conservative, have big families and embrace our roots.
We have incredible passion, tremendous fiery spirit and we don’t do whatever “they” tell us.
While in Greece they are 75% double vaccinated, I hardly know any Greek Americans that are.
Greek Americans have 2-3 kids minimum, while our selfish Greeks have one and complain how hard it is.
Losing their roots.
Maybe they should stop complaining about everything, stop the socialist agenda, and fight back and build families like we are meant to.
This gonna piss Greeks off as they always have a “thing” for us Greek Americans, but sorry, everyone knows we are more Greek than them.
They can kiss my ass, and the men need to learn to be men again.
The women need to stop being liberal brainwashed sheep and raise a family.
Stop thinking about where you gonna “holiday” and learn to prepare for the barbarians at the door.
