Franciscan Custos Father Francesco Patton (C) and friars pray at the Golgotha at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at the end of the weekly Via Dolorosa (Way of Suffering) procession in the Old City of Jerusalem on February 23, 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
