Empty Church of the Holy Sepulchre - the power of a single image.

Today my memories (actually, my camera memory card) took me to the "far" and almost forgotten 2021 - end of the "global pandemic" days. I continued visiting in Jerusalem all the days of "covid" without any pause and witnessed all the drastic changes happened there. One of them is the most terrific and terrible for this city - lack of tourists and religious pilgrimages. Personally, for me it was a perfection, to not to see the crowds of tourists, messing around. But for the local economy it was with no doubts catastrophic period of time.

Anyway, i photographed in this place just a week ago. And it was empty again, not like in this picture, but very badly like in 2020-21.

The newer images i will show you in my next blog post here. Right now i'm working on the blog post about the last snowfall, which I witnessed in 2022. I posted already some stuff about it here - http://www.victorbezrukov.com/snow-in-jerusalem-the-white-city-exploration-part-i/
and in the part ii - http://www.victorbezrukov.com/snow-in-jerusalem-the-white-city-exploration-part-ii/
and after two years of the futile expectations for another cold snowy days, i decided to publish the remain images from my "adventure".
