STORYLINE
Hundreds of Christians from around the world marched from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem to mark Palm Sunday, retracing the steps of Jesus 2,000 years ago, according to the bible.
A few dozen Israeli police stood by, a small fraction of the forces on duty in recent weeks because of Palestinian unrest.
Most West Bank Palestinians were banned from Jerusalem on Sunday in keeping with standing Israeli regulations.
Palestinians and backers demanding free access to the holy city briefly broke through a crossing between the West Bank town of Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
According to the bible, Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem, greeted by cheering crowds bearing palm fronds.
It marks the start of Holy Week, which concludes with Easter the following Sunday.
