A Samaritan man stands under a Sukkah made of fruits inside his house during the holiday of Sukkot (the Tabernacles Feast) celebrations on Mount Gerizim near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, on October 20, 2013. Sukkot marks the exodus of the ancient Hebrew people from Egypt. The Samaritan religion is based on four principles of faith, one God, the God of Israel; one Prophet, Moses Ben Amram; the Torah, the first five books of the Bible and one holy place, Mount Gerizim. The Samaritan community numbers about 740 people, half at Mount Gerizin in the West Bank and the others in Holon near Tel Aviv in Israel. AFP PHOTO/JAAFAR ASHTAYEH
