Jerusalem March 2017 - Prima Jerusalem Hotels
Date: October 10, 2017
Thousands of Israelis, tourists, foreigners & believers from around the world participate in the annual Jerusalem March, which began in 1955, a celebratory parade that takes place in the middle of the week-long Sukkot holiday (the Feast of Tabernacles). Participants include representative groups from different countries and organizations, dance ensembles, street artists, marching bands, IDF soldiers and others.
After the founding of the Christian Embassy in Jerusalem, Christians began joining the march and over time it has become tradition for thousands of Christians, and believers of all faiths from around the world to participate, while proudly raising banners showing their love for the Jewish people and the State of Israel, wishing locals a happy holiday and giving bystanders little trinkets, such as flags from their home countries, and candies.
Today the march continues to grow and many go out to the streets as spectators – the sounds, colors and interactions promise a heart-warming and fun experience. We wish you a happy holiday as well and invite you to stay with one of four Prima hotels in Jerusalem for The Jerusalem March 2016
There are three routes to choose from – 15 km, 9 km and 5 km long
