Boys Initial Traditionally Entry Into Jerusalem
The first thing that catches one's attention is the normal gate that adorned a beautiful wall. Traditionally, boys don’t enter the temple in Jerusalem until they are up to twelve years old. Just like Jesus Christ, the first time, when he turned twelve; followed his parents, Mary and Joseph, into Jerusalem as required by the Jewish tradition.
It is a big
day celebration. The boys, each rode on a horse, well dressed and decorated for
the ceremony, all beaming with wide smiles. It looked like initiation into manhood. Each family rallies round
their son(s) in pomp and pageantry. Some fathers could be seen carrying their
celebrating sons on their shoulders, having great time to mark the tradition.
Besides,
many other side attractions ranging from wedding to dancing and other
activities take place around the vicinity.
It is a day
to behold around the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.
What do you
have to say?
