A Franciscan friar holds a candle as he prays and sings during the daily prayer inside the latin chapel at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem, on February 17, 2018. Dispatched to the city 800 years ago by the Catholic order's founder, Saint Francis of Assisi, the Franciscans have for centuries ensured a permanent Christian presence in the Holy Land. Pilgrims know them primarily as the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre, protecting the site where Jesus is believed to have been crucified and buried. / AFP PHOTO / Thomas COEX
