In a scene that looked like a biblical illustration brought to life, earlier this month a group of people performed a special procession for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.

They used sheep, a special bread and a sacrificial altar similar to the one described in the Torah -- the first five books of the Hebrew Bible.

Shavuot is one of the three pilgrimage holidays where, according to tradition, Jews were able to go to the Temple.

"We're practicing the different parts of the priestly work. The work of the Kohanim in the Temple," said Mordechai Persoff, program manager, Mikdash Educational Center.
