WAVING THE SACRED SCROLL, ONE OF THE CEREMONIES DURING THE SAMARITAN 



PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY ROCK. WHICH FOLLOWS THE 



CELEBRATION OF THE PASSOVER 



The high priest, taking the sacred scroll from its resting place, holds it in his arms. 

 Then he raises it over his head and the copper case is unfolded, so that the parchment is 

 exposed toward the devotees, who stroke their faces and beards in reverence.
