STORYLINE
Christians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have commemorated the day of Jesus'' crucifixion, Good Friday.
Gaza''s Christian community gathered at their church on Friday evening.
Meanwhile in the West Bank, a ceremony was held at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the traditional birthplace of Jesus.
The Christian population in the West Bank and Gaza has been dwindling for decades.
Many have left for economic reasons and Muslim pressure.
About 50,000 Christians live in the Palestinian areas, a tiny minority among about four (m) million Muslims.
Another 123,000 Christian Arabs live in Israel, about 8 percent of Israel''s minority Arab population.
