Workers remove thousands of prayers from Wailing Wall | Video

Jerusalem, Apr 2 (EFE).- (Camera: Abir Sultan) Workers from the Wailing Wall Foundation on Sunday were removing hundreds of thousands of small pieces of paper bearing hand-written prayers that were placed by Jewish believers between the cracks of the sacred wall.

The prayers withdrawn on Sunday were accumulated over the last six months, as the wall is cleared of the papers twice a year, once before Pesach, or Passover – which begins on Wednesday – and once before Rosh Hashana, or the Jewish New Year, which will be celebrated in September.
