Inside Holy Week: Rare overlap of Easter, Passover and Ramadan

Only three times in a century will Easter fall at the same time as Passover and Ramadan and this year people traveled to the holy city of Jerusalem to celebrate and worship in a rare overlap of the three faiths. NBC’s Richard Engel gives an inside look for TODAY and brings back gifts to Studio 1A to mark the occasion.

To think that Richard just lost his son less than a year ago but still remembers others! Class act all the way!

I visited Jerusalem in May 2022, as a roman catholic, I can not describe to you how spiritual and beautiful it was to be inside that church. I will never forget that day and I pray that I will return one day to visit again. Happy Easter!!!

God bless Richard for your witness of Christian love in action with the gift of the Blessed Rosaries. Very kind and thoughtful ending and a reminder to all of us, regardless of faith or spirituality, the power of love in action. May the God who is Love bring peace and love to us all this Holy Week. Amen. 🙏

That was an amazing gesture to his friends, and incredible gift to his audience. Christ Lives!

This segment was very touching! Thanks Richard for showing this on the Today show. So nice of you to bring religious souvenirs for your friends. They have special significance and value as they were touched to the stone where Jesus’ body was prepared for burial... that place is sacred... it actually emanates a fragrance of roses... I enjoyed your report on the Holy Land with the three most important religions in the world, celebrating their feast days at the same time.👍🏻🙏✝️

Praying for Carson Daily. I felt compelled to say, Carson Daily, Jesus knows you. He knows your questions and He IS the answer. Praying for your heart. He loves you He sees you, He died for you! God bless everyone. JOHN 3:16-21
