Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the worlds Orthodox Christians, holds an Easter Liturgy at the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, Turkey on Sunday, May 5, 2002. Some 1,000 pilgrims _ mostly Greeks _ crammed their way into the stone, icon-adorned Cathedral of St. George to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Most Catholics and Protestants -- who follow a different liturgical calendar than Orthodox -- celebrated Easter at the end of March. (AP Photo/Osman Orsal)
