Salt Lake Tribune reporter Peggy Fletcher Stack reports on violence marring the confluence of three major holidays — Ramadan, Good Friday and Passover.

Israeli police and soldiers stand guard at the entrance of the Muslim section of East Jerusalem on Friday, April 15, 2022. Orthodox Jews burn their leavened bread in preparation for Passover in Jerusalem on Friday, April 15, 2022. Christians from all over the world, meanwhile, gathered for Good Friday in another section of the ancient city to retrace the steps they believe Jesus took to his crucifixion on the road known as the Via Dolorosa. They stopped at each of the Stations of the Cross to pray and read part of the story.
