The patriarchs of Jerusalem to protest closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre : In the World : Vladim

Many years later, closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The reason for that was a protest against the Israeli officials. Politicians are going to impose a tax on the Church.

All the temples of Jerusalem were withdrawn from payment of taxes to the Treasury of Israel. Many years have passed and the government has matured “crushing” taxes on property within the territory of facilities for faith. Got a list of taxation and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Politicians believe that the object is more touristy than religious.

The society took this decision negatively. And so, the three heads of churches of Jerusalem – the Armenian Patriarch, the Orthodox Patriarch and the Catholic Franciscan Custodian of the Holy Land, decided that the Church does not agree with the verdict of MPs and to protest closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Note that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre also called the Church of the Resurrection.
