Happy...no wait.

It turns out that Easter in these parts isn't until next week. Despite the presence of both the Latin and Orthodox churches in the West Bank, everyone celebrates next week (Orthodox Easter), although Christmas Day is celebrated on the 25th December (according to the Latin calendar). This obviously doesn't stop the masses of tourists from visiting Jerusalem this week. In fact, it's a double bonazza for all the businesses there!
