Easter Sunrise Service at the Garden Tomb


For the First Time we were invited to celebrate Easter with friends in Jerusalem. They have a tradition of going to the Garden Tomb for the Easter Sunrise service. This was an experience we will never forget. The service started at 05:30 AM, which means that we had to wake up at 3:30am in order to get in line! Shockingly, a cold spell hit the country, which is hilarious because we had just packed up most of our winter clothes and the boys were expecting to wear shorts and t-shirts! And it rained, but we LOVED IT! It was a very meaningful experience for everyone. We found the service itself was so well done, we will probably try to go again next year.
