Shepherds' Nights Festival 2010 in Beit Sahour, West Bank
Pictures from the first of the three nights (December 23 – 25, 2010) of Shepherds Nights Festival 2010, organised by the Palestinian Center for Rapproachement between People (PCR) and the Joint Advocacy Initiative (JAI), a program of the East Jerusalem and Shepherds' Field YMCAs.
The third annual Shepherds Nights Festival 2010 was held in Beit Sahour, Palestine. Beit Sahour is a mostly Christian village directly east of Bethlehem in the West Bank, Palestine. The town played a key role in the First and Second Intifadas, with local activists pioneering nonviolent resistance techniques. On December 23rd through 25th, 2010, Beit Sahour hosted Shepherd's Nights Festival to mark the Christmas holiday. The Festival is a family-friendly event with musical performers, dancers, local artisans and food vendors, a Santa Claus with gifts for children, and a candlelight procession through Beit Sahour on the final day to "Light a candle for the establishment of a Palestinian State." The three-day event is organized jointly by the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement between People (PCR) and the Joint Advocacy Initiative (JAI), a program of the East Jerusalem and Shepherds' Field YMCAs.
