Samaritans Passover pilgrimage in West Bank

Members of the Samaritan community gather to attend an early morning Passover prayers to mark the end of the Passover holiday, atop Mount Gerizim, near the West Bank City of Nablus, 06 May 2018. The Samaritans, an ethnoreligious group of the Levant originating from the Israelites, or Hebrews, of the ancient near east, claim descent from the tribe of Ephraim and tribe of Manasseh (two sons of Joseph). According to the Torah, the Passover Sacrifice was first offered on the night of the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt. Photo: Ayman Nobani/dpa (Photo by Ayman Nobani/picture alliance via Getty Images)
