On the 7th day of Passover is the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Prayers begin after midnight at the synagogue and at 4am all the men of the community walk up Mt Gerizim to the site they believe to be God's true temple, rather than Jerusalem. The Samaritan of Jesus' time were loathed as unbelievers, yet Jesus, in one of his most well known parables, cast a “good Samaritan” as an exemplar of neighborly love. The Torah is carried and singing and chanting carries on continually through the sunrise as they process around the site.

Archaeological excavations at Mount Gerizim indicate that a Samaritan temple was built there in the first half of the 5th century BCE.
