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.
