<p>BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) &#8212; The prime minister in Ramallah gave holiday greetings at an event with Christian clergymen and other officials Saturday, the day before Easter.</p>
<p>&#8220;This holiday brings with it joy and the promise of a better future,&#8221; Salam Fayyad said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is a religious and national holiday for Muslim and Christian Palestinians,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will celebrate this holiday at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in East Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Palestinian state, at a time when our aspirations for freedom and independence are realized.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tradition holds that Jesus was crucified at the site, which is widely considered the holiest for Christians.</p>
