In Jerusalem's Old City there are dozens of churches, but as Christmas beckons there is just one Santa Claus, or Father Christmas – a towering Palestinian former basketball player. Each December, the streets sparkle green and red as Christian pilgrims and others arrive to celebrate Christmas in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem. (Photo by Ahmad Gharabli/AFP Photo)
