Sainte Thérèse à Jérusalem

Pas moins de deux milles personnes se sont rassemblées mercredi à 16h30 en face de la Citadelle de David pour saluer la 'petite Thérèse' qui entre pour la première fois dans la ville sainte.

Au Patriarcat, toute la cour était pavoisée de drapeaux jaunes et blancs du Vatican. Les scouts ont accompagné le cortège à la cornemuse jusqu’à la cathédrale où les vêpres ont été présidées par Sa Béatitude Monseigneur Fouad Twal.
