On All Saints’ Day, the Zababdeh faithful gather in the village cemetery to remember those who have died in the past year.

Today is All Saints' Day. We spent it working on the film and our itinerary, and not as in past years joining the community in worship remembering those who have passed away this year.

This afternoon our friend Hans arrived for a visit. He spent three months in Zababdeh with the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel. It is nice to see him and catch up.
