Greek Orthodox Christians gathered on Friday 16 December ahead of Saint Barbara's Day in the West Bank village of Aboud.

A parade involving priests and a marching band with drummers and bagpipes ended at the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Barbara, which encloses a cave.

It is the cave in which St Barbara is said to have sheltered after escaping from her father and where she is believed to have seen a vision of Jesus.

St Barbara's Day itself is celebrated on 17 December (4 December in the Julian calendar) every year.

The village of Aboud has a sizeable Christian population.
