Yahoo! News - Christian pilgrims fill Jerusalem for Good Friday
Yahoo! News reports: "Christian pilgrims filled the cobblestone alleyways of old Jerusalem to mark Good Friday, commemorating Jesus' crucifixion in the city two millennia ago. Thousands of international visitors and local Christians retraced Jesus' last steps down the Via Dolorosa, which is Latin for 'Way of Suffering.' The route ends at the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and his resurrection two days later on Easter Sunday."

Comment: This is a good report that does not use politically correct terms to set the scene. They don't, for example, says things like "they believe" or "believed to be" when describing the events. Some reports do, and I'm always a bit sensitive to that as it reflects the amazing transformation on our Western culture, so rich with Christian history and tradition, and yet now afraid of acknowledging our own history.

Have you seen a news report that depicts the events of holy week as a myth or a story? If so, please feel free to share them in the comments section and then let's visit those sites to defend the truth of the gospel in their comments section.
