Samaritans make a pilgrimage to Mount Gerizim in the West Bank, with men participating in public worship.[1][2]

Samaritan Passovers are each one day long, followed by the six-day Festival of Unleavened Bread – for a total of seven days.[3] that includes the ancient lamb sacrifice on Mount Gerizim on the 7th day.
