AP reporter spends night locked inside Jerusalem's holiest church
Original: An AP reporter spends the night locked inside Jerusalem's holiest church with clergy and pilgrims
An Associated Press reporter spent the night locked inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem alongside clergy and pilgrims, offering an inside account of the ancient ritual in which the church's doors are sealed each evening. The piece gives readers a rare glimpse of worship, prayers and life inside the contested site after closing time, when only a handful of people remain within its walls.
Why now: The vivid firsthand account of a rarely seen ritual at one of Christianity's holiest sites is drawing wide reader interest.
